Can i mail in form 7004
Form 7004 is the Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File Certain Business Income Tax, Information, and Other Returns. While you can't mail in the form itself, you can use it to request an automatic 6-month extension to file certain business tax returns.
To request an extension, you'll need to file Form 7004 electronically through the IRS's Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) or through a tax preparation software or service. You can't file Form 7004 by mail.
Here are the steps to file Form 7004 electronically:
- Go to the IRS's EFTPS website at www.irs.gov/payments.
- Click on "Make a Payment" and then select "File Form 7004" from the drop-down menu.
- Follow the prompts to enter your business information, tax year, and the type of return you're filing an extension for (e.g., Form 1120, Form 1065, etc.).
- Pay the applicable fee (if required) and submit the form.
Alternatively, you can use a tax preparation software or service, such as TurboTax or H&R Block, to file Form 7004 electronically.
If you're unable to file electronically, you can contact the IRS at (800) 829-1040 to request an extension by phone. However, keep in mind that you'll need to provide the required information and pay any applicable fees to complete the extension request.
Remember to keep a copy of your filed Form 7004 for your records, as you'll need to attach a copy to your original return when you file it.
