Mail irs extension address
The IRS address for mailing tax extensions is:
Internal Revenue Service P.O. Box 802501 Cincinnati, OH 45280-2501
This is the address for filing Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, and Form 7004, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File Other Specified Business Income Tax Returns.
You can also file for an extension online through the IRS website. To do so, you'll need to use the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) and submit Form 4868 electronically.
It's important to note that the IRS does not accept extensions by phone or fax. If you're unable to file your taxes by the original deadline, you should file for an extension as soon as possible to avoid any late filing penalties.
Here are some additional tips to keep in mind:
- Make sure to sign and date your extension request.
- Include your name, address, and Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) on the form.
- If you're filing for an extension for a business, you'll need to include the business name, address, and Employer Identification Number (EIN) on the form.
- You can only file for an automatic extension of up to 6 months. If you need more time, you'll need to file for an additional extension using Form 8891, Application for Extension of Time To File Certain Estimated Tax Payments.
- If you owe taxes, you'll need to pay any owed amount by the original deadline to avoid penalties and interest. You can pay online, by phone, or by mail.
Remember to keep a copy of your extension request for your records.
