Where to mail extension form 4868

Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, is typically filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by mail or electronically.

To mail the form, you can send it to the following address:

Make sure to sign and date the form, and include your name and Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) on the form. You can also attach a payment for any taxes owed, if applicable.

Alternatively, you can file Form 4868 electronically through the IRS website or through tax preparation software. To do so, you'll need to:

  1. Log in to your IRS account on the IRS website (irs.gov) or use tax preparation software like TurboTax, H&R Block, or TaxAct.
  2. Select the "File for an Extension" option.
  3. Fill out the form and submit it electronically.
  4. Pay any taxes owed, if applicable, using electronic payment options like the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) or a credit/debit card.

Keep in mind that the IRS may take several weeks to process your extension request, so it's a good idea to file as early as possible to avoid any potential penalties or interest on your tax debt.
