How do I file for an IRS extension?

In order to file for a tax extension, you will need to fill out form 4868 from the IRS. It can be found here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf If you don't want to file with the paper form, you may also e-file by filling out the form electronically and submitting it through your personal computer or a tax professional.
