If you cannot file by the due date of your return, then you can request an extension of time to file. However, an extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay. You will owe interest on any past–due tax and you may be subject to a late–payment penalty if payment is not made timely. To receive an automatic 6–month extension of time to file your return, you can file Form 4868 (PDF) by the due date of your return. For more information, refer to the Form 4868 Instructions.

This must be post marked by midnight April 17th

You can file for an extension either online or by mail anytime before the due date of your tax return. IRS allows an automatic four month extension if you apply, making the due date August 15th (or 1st business day after that if a holiday or weekend). Additional extensions are available if you can show good cause.|||For Federal tax, it's form 4868. No you didn't miss the deadline. You have until Monday April 16 to file your 2006 tax return. But this only extends the time you have to file the information, not to pay the tax due. If you don't fully pay the tax due by April 16, you'll be charged interest on the days between April 16 and whenever you finally file. So do a rough estimate and if you're going to owe tax, send a check in with the extension form.|||File form 4868 the link is below
