Your extension is private and secure on FreeTaxUSA. The information you enter is always encrypted and transmitted securely directly to the IRS. Your account information will be saved until you are ready to finish your tax return. Sign in at any time to review or update your information.

* Warning: Filing an extension changes the deadline for filing your tax return. If you owe taxes, they need to be paid by April 15th. Failing to do so could result in penalties and fees from the IRS. You can make a payment when you file your extension to avoid penalties and interest.

To file an extension, create an account or sign in to an existing account. Once you have signed in, click on the 2012 Extension link in the right sidebar and proceed. All extensions must be filed by April 15, 2013.
