IRS Free File: A Convenient Option for Individual Taxpayers

File Form 4868 to Extend Your Filing Deadline

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides a convenient and free online service called Free File that allows individual tax filers to prepare and e-file their extension forms at no cost. Regardless of your income level, you can use Free File to submit Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File US. Individual Income Tax Return, electronically.

If you find yourself unable to complete your federal tax return by the April 15th deadline, Form 4868 provides you with a six-month extension to file. However, it's important to note that this extension does not apply to paying any taxes you may owe. You should estimate your tax liability and make a payment by the original deadline to avoid penalties.

Unlike the Self Assessment tax return in the United Kingdom, which allows individuals to file after the January deadline, the IRS requires taxpayers to file their extension request before the April 15th deadline. It's recommended that you file your extension as early as possible to ensure timely processing and avoid any potential issues.
