eFiling Form 4868 can provide a faster way to submit an extension and retain an electronic filing record than mailing a paper form.
- You can check the filing status in My Tax Filings.
- Keep the IRS acknowledgement and related filing details for your records.
- If the IRS rejects an e-filed extension, review the rejection details, correct the identified issue, and resubmit promptly.
IRS response timing can vary. An e-filed extension is not accepted until the IRS status shows Accepted by IRS.
