The Benefits of a Tax Extension
Life gets busy, and finances can be complicated. If you find yourself in either of these two situations, rest assured as you may be eligible to receive additional time to compile the necessary paperwork for your return. Taking more time on your return may help you avoid mistakes and minimize your tax liability. It is important to note that this is an extension to file, not an extension to pay any taxes due.
Did You Know You Can Have An Extra 6 Months?
Federal income tax extensions are good for six months. With the 2024 tax year deadline being April 15th, 2025, that means you have until October 15th, 2025 to complete the task. Think you could use the extra time?

Get StartedQ: I missed the April 15th deadline. Can I still file a tax extension?
The deadline to file a tax extension was April 15th, 2026. If you missed it, it’s too late to request an extension — but it’s not too late to file your tax return. Filing as soon as possible helps minimize penalties, limit interest on unpaid taxes, and ensure you claim your refund if you're owed one.
Q: What happens if I missed the deadline to file an extension?
If you owe taxes, the IRS will likely charge penalties and interest, which continue to increase the longer you wait. Filing your return as soon as possible helps reduce what you’ll owe. If you’re due a refund, you won’t be penalized — but it’s still smart to file now so you can get your money back.

*Maximum Refund Guarantee Disclosure: If you find an error in the tax preparation that entitles you to a larger refund (or smaller liability), we will refund any fees you paid us to use our service to prepare that return and you may use our service to amend your return at no additional charge. To qualify, the larger refund or smaller tax liability must not be due to differences or inaccuracies in data supplied by you, your choice not to claim a deduction or credit, positions taken on your return that are contrary to law, or changes in federal or state tax laws.
**100% Accuracy Guarantee Disclosure: If our tax preparation software makes a mathematical error that results in your payment of a penalty and/or interest to the IRS that you would otherwise not have been required to pay, you will be reimbursed up to a maximum of $10,000.
