HERNDON, VA / ACCESS Newswire / April 3, 2025 / As the tax season progresses, many individuals and families may need additional time to gather necessary documents and complete their tax returns. The IRS recognizes this challenge and offers a simple solution: Form 4868, the Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Returns. Filing Form 4868 grants an automatic six-month extension, pushing the deadline for filing to October 15th.
For taxpayers with a filing deadline of April 15th, submitting Form 4868 provides them the opportunity to avoid late filing penalties. However, it's important to note that the extension applies solely to the filing of the return and does not grant extra time for payment of taxes owed. Taxpayers must estimate their tax liability and pay any balance due by the original filing deadline of April 15th.
"Form 4868 is a crucial tool for taxpayers who need extra time to file their taxes, but it's essential to remember that the extension only postpones the paperwork, not the payment," said a spokesperson for Tax2efile. "We encourage individuals to file for the extension as soon as possible to avoid penalties. At Tax2efile, we make the process of filing Form 4868 simple and secure, ensuring that people can focus on other aspects of their lives without worrying about the paperwork."
Submitting Form 4868 can be done easily and securely through Tax2efile's online platform. Tax2efile's user-friendly e-filing service allows individuals to file for an extension quickly, securely, and accurately. Taxpayers will receive an immediate confirmation of submission, ensuring that they meet the necessary deadlines and avoid costly penalties.
"We understand how stressful tax season can be," continued the spokesperson from Tax2efile. "Our goal is to help people navigate the process effortlessly, so they don't have to worry about missing deadlines. Filing Form 4868 through Tax2efile is one of the most efficient ways to gain peace of mind during tax season."
The deadline to file Form 4868 for the 2024 tax year is April 15, 2025, but taxpayers are encouraged to file as early as possible to ensure they meet the deadline. For more information on how to file Form 4868 and extend your tax deadline, visit www.tax2efile.com
