Different ways to file a federal personal tax extension

There are 3 ways to file for a personal tax extension:

1.  "Print and Mail" paper IRS Form 4868  - complete form and mail it via the USPS to the IRS based on the information provided on the form.  With this method, you will not be notified by the IRS if the extension was received or accepted. 
2. IRS Direct Pay - you can make an extension tax payment at the IRS website. Making a payment provides you with the federal tax extension, however, you must make an extension tax payment
3. eFile your extension with an IRS Authorized eFile Provider, such as ours. You will be notified in minutes letting you know that the IRS has received and/or accepted your extension request.
