How to file for a business tax extension

Don't worry if you missed the filing deadline. Learn how to file for an IRS extension to delay filing your business tax return properly.

Filing a tax return is part of earning income, but sometimes the filing deadline arrives before you're ready. If you're still catching up on bookkeeping or sorting through receipts looking for tax deductions, don't worry. The IRS will give you an additional six months to file your tax return—all you need to do is file an extension. 

Remember, though, filing an extension does not change the date you have to pay your taxes; it only extends the time you have to file your tax return. You can avoid incurring penalties and interest by paying your taxes by the original tax deadline. 

Here’s how to file an extension: 

1. Estimate the tax you owe

An extension gives you more time to file your tax return, but it doesn't give you more time to pay the tax you owe. So if you owe money to the IRS, you're still expected to pay by the original due date and will need to estimate your tax. As a reminder, those dates to file an extension and pay any taxes are generally as follows (or if this date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the due date is delayed until the next business day):

The IRS can charge penalties and interest if you pay your taxes after the original due date, so estimate what you owe and make a payment with your extension request.

2. Select the right extension form

Most businesses use Form 7004, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File Certain Business Income Tax, Information, and Other Returns, to request an extension. This includes partnerships and multiple-member LLCs, S corporations, and C corporations.

Two exceptions are sole proprietors and single-member LLCs. Sole proprietors and single-member LLCs don't file separate business tax returns. Instead, they report business income or losses on Schedule C. So these types of entities request a personal extension using Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

3. Complete and submit the extension request form

Completing the extension form is straightforward. You don't even need to sign the extension request or explain to the IRS why you need extra time. Your tax return filing type will determine the extension form you need to file, either Form 7004 or Form 4868.

Complete Form 7004 (such as for Form 1120 Corporation, Form 1065 Partnership, and Form 1120S S Corporation Filers):

If you won't be able to file your federal taxes by the deadline, you can complete Form 7004 to file for a federal tax extension to request an additional extra six months to file your federal tax return.

How to file a tax extension request online

You can request this online if you or your tax preparer has access to tax software. 

How to file a tax extension request by mail

Otherwise, you can also file a tax extension by mail by completing Form 7004 and having it postmarked in the mail by the original deadline. To complete Form 7004, you will need to:

  • Fill in your business name, tax identification number, and address at the top of the form.
  • In Part I, select the applicable form number to indicate the type of tax return your business files (i.e., Form 1120 for a C corp, Form 1065 for a partnership, etc.)
  • In Part II:
    • Check the box on line 2 if the extension request is for a foreign corporation that doesn't have a place of business in the U.S.
    • Check the box on line 3 if your business is the parent company for a group of companies that file a consolidated tax return.
    • Check the box on line 4 if your business qualifies for an extended deadline, making your tax filing deadline June 15. Companies that qualify for the extended deadline include partnerships and corporations that keep their books and records outside of the U.S., foreign corporations that maintain a place of business in the U.S., and domestic corporations whose principal income is from sources within the U.S. and its possessions.
    • On line 5, fill in the blanks to indicate the calendar or tax year for which you're requesting an extension.
    • On lines 6 through 8, enter your estimated tax liability, any payments you've already made or credits you intend to take that will reduce your tax liability, and the balance due that you'll pay with your extension request.

How to make a payment

If you calculate an estimated tax due, you have a few options to make a payment:

  • Pay electronically online with the IRS. Most businesses must use the Electronic Federal Tax Payments System (EFTPS) to make federal tax payments. This system allows you to schedule direct debits of tax payments from your business bank account. To use EFTPS, you have to enroll online or call EFTPS Customer Service at (800) 555-4477 to request an enrollment form. If this is your first time using EFTPS, the IRS will validate your information by mailing a personal identification number (PIN) to your IRS address of record. This process takes five to seven business days, so it's not a good option for last-minute tax payments.
  • E-file through your tax software or a tax professional. If you file Form 7004 electronically, you may be able to pay via electronic funds withdrawal. You'll have to provide your business bank account's routing and account number.
  • Mail Form 7004 to the IRS along with a check for the tax you owe. The mailing address for sending your extension depends on which tax form you use and your business' state. See the IRS Instructions for Form 7004 for a list of mailing addresses. If you go this route, be sure to send your form and check via certified mail so you have proof it was mailed by the original tax filing deadline.

Complete Form 4868 (Individuals and sole proprietorships)

If you won't be able to file your federal taxes by the deadline, you can complete Form 4868 to file a federal tax extension to request an additional six months to file your federal tax return. 

  • You will need to provide your name, address, Social Security number, and spouse's Social Security number if applicable.
  • Calculate the estimated taxes owed. Note that the extension is to extend when you must file your tax return, not an extension to pay your tax balance.

You can request a federal tax extension either by mail or online.

How to file a tax extension request online

You can request this online if you or your tax preparer has access to tax software. Otherwise, Individual taxpayers can use Free File, allowing you to e-file your tax extension form.

How to file a tax extension request by mail

You can also file a tax extension request by mail.  You will need to download the Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File form from IRS.gov. Then fill out Form 4868 and have the form postmarked in the mail by the original tax deadline.

How to make a payment

If you calculate an estimated tax due, you have a few options to make a payment:

  • Pay electronically online with the IRS. Here you will have the option to pay directly from your account, debit card, credit card, or see other payment options. You will need to provide information, such as a reason for payment (be sure to select the extension and the correct tax period).
  • E-file through your tax software or a tax professional. If you file your extension electronically, you may be able to pay via electronic funds withdrawal. You'll have to provide your business bank account's routing and account number.
  • You can also mail 4868 to the IRS along with a check for the tax you owe. The mailing address for sending your extension depends on which tax form you use and your business's state. See the IRS Instructions for Form 4868 for a list of mailing addresses. If you go this route, be sure to send your form and check via certified mail so you have proof it was mailed by the original tax filing deadline.

4. File your business tax return by the extended due date

Requesting an extension generally gives you an extra six months to file your business tax return. For calendar-year taxpayers, the extended deadline is:

If any of the dates mentioned fall on a weekend or holiday, the deadline shifts to the next business day.

5. File your state extensions

Don't forget about state income taxes! Some states accept the federal extension, and some require business owners to use a state-specific form. States’ deadlines may change due to various reasons, such as pandemics, natural disasters, or other impacts.

Below are some resources and information to get you started. As always, please check with your state's Department of Revenue or your tax preparer to ensure you don't miss your state tax filing deadline or any other requirements.
