By filing Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, taxpayers can request up to six additional months to file the return.  \n Even if the IRS grants the request for an extension, all payments are due on the original due date to avoid penalties and interest.  \nCompleting an Extension in ATX  \nIn ATX, you can create an extension for a single return, or for several returns at once. You can also choose to create extension returns with no income or tax information or returns that include some tax data.  \nTo create an extension in ATX:  \n1. Create the return, completing the taxpayer’s name, Social Security number and address.  \n2. If you have any tax data, such as income amounts, complete those sections.  \n3. Save and close the return.  \n If you want to create extensions for multiple returns at once, complete these steps for each taxpayer for whom you need to file an extension.  \n4. From Return Manager, select the check box for each return for which you want to create an extension.  \n5. On the Returns menu, point to Create/Print Extensions and choose either:  \n• For Marked Returns with Zero Amounts or  \n• For Marked Returns with Custom Amounts  \n6. ATX displays the Create/Print Extensions dialog box, confirming the returns you selected. Click Continue.  \n7. ATX displays the Returns Marked for Printing dialog box. Make any changes needed to the printer options and click Print.  \nWhen you choose this option, ATX prints the forms, and adds Form 4868 to the marked returns.  \nTo view or edit this form:  \n1. Open the return.  \n2. Click the Form 4868 tab.  \n3. Click the Page 1 worksheet tab. ATX displays the form, including any information you have already entered on the return:  \n4. Complete as much of the return as you can, including income and payments.  \n5. On Form 4868, box 7, enter the payment amount included with this return, if any.  \n Remember, any amount owed is due on the original due date, and penalties and interest apply for late payment, even if the return is extended.  \n6. If submitting a payment with the extension, click the Payment navigation tab.  \n7. Select the method of payment, and if necessary, enter any bank information on the Bank Account tab.","cbCaiuLBHYhXvQOL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuLBHYhXvQOL","pdf",292045,"English","# Creating Extension Returns\n## Requesting an Extension with Form 4868\n## Completing an Extension in ATX\n## Viewing or Editing Form 4868 and Submitting Payments","[{\"question\":\"How do taxpayers request more time to file a U.S. individual income tax return?\",\"answer\":\"File Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, which can request up to six additional months to file.\"},{\"question\":\"If the IRS grants an extension, when are payments due?\",\"answer\":\"All payments are due on the original due date to avoid penalties and interest, even if the filing is extended.\"},{\"question\":\"How can an extension return be created in ATX for multiple taxpayers?\",\"answer\":\"Create the return for each taxpayer and complete the required information, then in Return Manager select the checkbox for each return you want to extend, and use Returns \\u003e Create/Print Extensions with the appropriate marked-returns option.\"}]","ATXLP 2026 - Creating Extension Returns - Form 4868 | PDF",1789793198]
