File on Time; Pay on Time
IRS reminds taxpayers: An extension of time to file does not grant you any extension of time to pay your taxes
With the April 15 tax filing deadline fast approaching, the Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers that a tax filing extension guarantees the taxpayer six additional months to file with an extended deadline of Oct. 15, but it does not grant you an extension of time to pay any taxes you owe.
By law, taxpayers are required to pay their taxes by the April 15th deadline, regardless of when they file their return. If you estimate that you will owe taxes when you file, you should make estimated tax payments by the April 15th deadline to avoid penalties and interest. You can use Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals, to make estimated tax payments.
If you are unable to pay your taxes by the April 15th deadline, you can request an extension to file Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, will give you an automatic six-month extension to file your return. However, it will not extend the time to pay any taxes you owe.
