Additional Time to File Your Return
Menu Path: Account > File an Extension
If you need additional time to file your return, you can file an extension for free through our website.
First, you'll need to set up an account. Next, begin your extension by clicking on the Account menu in the top-right corner of the screen. You'll then be walked through the extension filing process. You can sign back in to your account at any time to view or print your extension.
Remember, filing an extension only extends the deadline for filing your return. If you owe the IRS money, you are still required to pay that amount by the April 15, 2026, payment deadline to avoid penalties. You can pay any amount you owe the IRS with your extension.
