RP Tax Service electronically files Form 4868 on your behalf — giving you an automatic extension to October 15. Submit your request by April 10th. Free for returning clients, $25 for new clients.
This is the single most misunderstood thing about filing extensions: the extension is for the return, not the payment. If you owe $8,000 and don't pay by April 15, you'll owe approximately $400–$600 in additional interest and penalties by October 15 — on top of the balance. If you're filing an extension because you don't have the cash, call us. We can discuss installment options and estimated payment strategies before the deadline.
Fill out your personal information, filing status, and total already paid to the IRS through withholding or estimated payments. Incomplete forms cannot be filed.
The deposit is applied to your tax filing balance when you return for your full return. An online invoice is sent via email.
Once payment and completed request are received, we electronically file Form 4868 and email you a confirmation.
It is your responsibility to schedule an appointment to complete your full tax return before the October 15 extended deadline.
Your first consultation is free. We'll identify exactly what applies to your situation.
