Looking for optional time even after 6 month extension?

In general, almost all the tax payers are permitted to avail a 6 month tax extension by filing Form 4868 for U.S individual income tax, except when you are bounded by the U.S instruction policy. The policy states that you can avail 6-month extension unless you want IRS to figure out your tax or you are under a court order to file your tax by the regular due date.

Apart from the automatic extension without filing any form, there is another possibility for extension. Those who are out of the country are eligible to request an optional time period of additional 2-months to file your tax returns next to the 6-month extension. For the calendar year tax payers, it is Dec’15. You have to send a letter briefing the reasons that demands additional two months to Internal Revenue Service, to request this extension. See that the letter reaches the below address before October’15, extended due date for calendar tax payers. You will get a reply of update from IRS, only if your request gets denied for being late.
