Yes, you can get an extension of time from the IRS to file your tax return.
You can get an automatic six-month tax extension for filing Form 1040, Form 1040A or Form 1040EZ by filing Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return on or before April 15th. By filing the extension tax form, you avoid the late filing tax penalty. However, Form 4868 does not extend the time to pay your tax. You must pay the amount of the tax estimated to be due for the tax year. Interest will be charged on unpaid tax from the original due date of the tax return.
You should send your extension tax form to the IRS Service Center where you file your tax return. You can also request to pay any IRS tax due in Installment Payments.
