Need more time to file your tax return?
If you can’t complete your federal tax return by the deadline, you can buy yourself more time. Just file an extension to push the deadline back six months and avoid IRS late filing penalties.
There’s a catch, though. The extension only pushes back the due date for the paperwork. If you owe money, you need to estimate the amount, then file your extension and make your payment by Time.

Cautions
* If the IRS thinks your estimate of the amount of tax you owe is unreasonable, it may disallow your extension and assess a late-filing penalty.
* If you underestimate the amount of tax you owe, you’ll have to pay interest on whatever amount you fail to pay by April18.
* If you pay less than 90 percent of the tax you owe, you’ll end up owing a penalty of 0.5 percent of the underpayment every month until you pay the balance. For example, if you pay $600 on April 18, but discover when you complete your return that you really owe $1,000, you will owe 0.5 percent per month on the $400 that is overdue, or about $2 a month, until you pay the balance in full.
