Important reminder — an extension to file is not an extension to pay
When you e-file IRS Form 4868 and receive confirmation, you’ll have until October 15, 2024 to finish and file your 2023 tax return. If you need a state tax extension, TaxAct will guide you through those steps as well.
How to File a Tax Extension:
Within your TaxAct return, click File Tax Extension from the left-side menu.
Continue with the interview process to enter information.
On the screen titled “Filing Tax Extension Step - Extension Options,” you can either print or e-file your federal extension. State extensions can be printed later in the process.
