Frequently asked questions
What exactly is a tax extension?
A tax extension gives you more time to file your U.S. federal tax return — moving the deadline from June to October 15. It does not extend the time to pay taxes owed, just the time to file the paperwork.
Is this really free? What’s the catch?
Yes — it’s completely free. We manually file Form 4868 on your behalf, with no fees and no obligation to use our tax filing service afterward. You can choose to work with us later — or not.
What do I need to provide for you to file the extension?
We just need your full legal name and Social Security Number (SSN). That’s it. We’ll handle the rest and send confirmation once your extension is submitted.
Can I still file an extension if I owe taxes?
Yes, but keep in mind: a filing extension does not delay your payment due date. If you expect to owe taxes, it’s best to estimate and pay by April 15 to avoid interest or penalties.
