Why Should I File a Tax Extension?

By filing Form 4868, you can add 6 months to your filing deadline. If you owe taxes, you still need to pay them by April 15, 2026. These are some reasons you may want to file an extension:

  • You've got a few things left to organize before you can file
  • A sudden change in your life that needs your full attention
  • You're still waiting for tax forms or documents
  • Your W-2 or other forms need to be replaced
  • Extreme weather or another event delays your tax filing
  • Filing later has tax planning advantages
  • You want to avoid late filing penalties
