You can pay all or part of your estimated income tax due and indicate that the payment is for an extension using your bank account; a digital wallet such as Click to Pay, PayPal, and Venmo; cash; or a credit or debit card. See How To Make a Payment, later, [and](and www.irs.gov/Payments for more)[ www.irs.gov/Payments](and www.irs.gov/Payments for more)[ for more](and www.irs.gov/Payments for more)[ ](and www.irs.gov/Payments for more)[information.](information.)  \n2. You can file Form 4868 electronically by accessing IRS e-file using your tax software or by using a tax professional who uses e-file.  \n3. You can file a paper Form 4868 and enclose payment of your estimate of tax due (optional) .  \nIt’s Convenient, Safe, and Secure  \nIRS e-file is the IRS’s electronic filing program. You can get an automatic extension of time to file your tax return by filing Form 4868 electronically. You’ll receive an electronic acknowledgment once you complete the transaction. Keep it with your records. Don’t mail in Form 4868 if you file electronically, unless you’re making a payment with a check or money order. See Pay by Check or Money Order, later.  \nComplete Form 4868 to use as a worksheet. If you think you mayowe tax when you file your return, you’ll need to estimate your total tax liability and subtract how much you’ve already paid (lines 4, 5, and 6 below) .  \nSeveral companies offer free e-filing of Form 4868 through the Free File program. For more details, [go to](go to www.irs.gov/FreeFile)[ www.irs.gov/FreeFile](go to www.irs.gov/FreeFile).  \n Pay Electronically  \nYou don’t need to file Form 4868 if you make a payment using our electronic payment options. The IRS will automatically process an extension of time to file when you pay part or all of your estimated income tax electronically. You can pay online or by phone. See Making Payments Electronically, later.  \nE-file Using Your Tax Software or Through a Tax Professional  \nRefer to your tax software package or tax preparer for ways to file electronically. Be sure to have a copy of your 2022 tax return—you’ll be asked to provide information from the return for taxpayer verification. If you wish to make a payment, you can pay by electronic funds withdrawal or send your check or money order to the address shown in the middle column under Where To File a Paper Form 4868 , later.  \n File a Paper Form 4868  \nIf you wish to file on paper instead of electronically, complete the Form 4868 below and mail it to the address shown under Where To File a Paper Form 4868 , later.  \nFor information on using a private delivery service, see Private Delivery Services, later.  \nNote: If you’re a fiscal year taxpayer, you must file a paper Form 4868.  \nGeneral Instructions  \nPurpose of Form  \nUse Form 4868 to apply for 6 more months (4 if “out of the country”(defined later under Taxpayers who are out of the country) and a U.S. citizen or resident) to file Form 1040, 1040-SR, 1040-NR, or 1040-SS.  \nGift and generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax return (Form 709). An extension of time to file your 2023 calendar year income tax return also extends the time to file Form 709 for 2023. However, it doesn’t extend the time to pay any gift and GST tax you may owe for 2023. To make a payment of gift and GST tax, see Form 8892. If you don’t pay the amount due by the regular due date for Form 709, you’ll owe interest and may also be charged penalties. If the donor died during 2023, see the instructions for Forms 709 and 8892.
