Where to mail tax extension 4868
If you need to file a tax extension, Form 4868, you can mail it to the following address:
Internal Revenue Service Attn: Extension of Time to File P.O. Box 802568 Chicago, IL 60680-2568
Make sure to sign and date the form, and include your name and address on the form. You can also e-file your Form 4868 through the IRS website or through a tax preparation software.
If you're filing a paper extension, be sure to attach a payment for any taxes owed, if applicable. You can pay online, by phone, or by mail using the IRS's Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS).
Here are some additional tips:
- Make sure to file your extension request by the deadline, which is typically April 15th for individual taxpayers.
- If you're filing a joint return, both spouses must sign the form.
- If you're filing for a business or corporation, you'll need to use a different form, Form 7004.
- You can also file for an automatic extension online through the IRS website or through a tax preparation software.
Remember to keep a copy of your extension request for your records, as you'll need to provide proof of filing if you're audited or have any issues with your tax return.
