For those of you who have been told to file a form 4868<\/strong><\/a>, but aren\u2019t necessarily sure what the form is actually for, stick around and we\u2019ll map it out for you quickly. The form is basically an extension of the amount of time you have before you have to file your tax returns. So, we all know April 15th is always tax day, for those who need a little bit longer from that point, you have a six-month window after that to file. All you have to do is file a form 4868 and you have your extension, well that\u2019s pretty much all you have to do. You can either mail the form to whichever designated IRS office is assigned to your state, or you can get in touch with us to help you E-file a tax extension. Either one is perfectly fine to do and both are accepted by the IRS.<\/p>\n
