Form 1040 is the U.S. individual income tax return. A request for an automatic extension from four to six months for filing the tax return can be made by filing Form 4868 before the original deadline of the return. The 4868 extension can be filed electronically, depending on the location and payment details of the taxpayer. Alternatively, a hardcopy filing of the extension can be mailed to one of several IRS service centers. It is important to note that filing Form 4868 does not extend the time for payment of tax due, and late payment penalties may apply if timely payment is not made. To access both Form 4868 and its complete instructions, direct links to the IRS can be found below this video.
