Methods for Requesting an Extension
Whether a taxpayer lives in the U.S. and wants a 6-month extension, or lives outside the U.S. and wants an additional 4-month extension, the methods for requesting the extension are the same.
Taxpayers can request an extension by:
- Submitting paper Form 4868
- e-filing the request through a tax professional or tax software on a personal computer
- Paying all or part of their estimate of tax due, either over the telephone or the Internet
