OnLine Taxes offers FREE federal extensions
to file your income tax return. See below for details!
For 2012 tax year, the due date for filing an individual tax return is April 15, 2013. Extensions must be filed by the tax due date.
An extension is a request for additional time to file, not additional time to pay. If you are going to owe, you have to mail in your payment by the tax filing due date to avoid penalty.
If you are due a tax refund, it is not necessary to file an extension. There is no penalty for late filing unless you owe the IRS.
If you need more time to file your tax return and would like to take advantage of our FREE extension filing (IRS Form 4868), you have until the tax filing due date of April 15, 2013 to get your extension transmitted.

Within the account, under the Primary Information Tab, click Extension. Follow the prompt which will take you to prepare the extension and in the end of the process to Submit the extension for e-file.
You can print out a copy of your extension for your records by clicking on the link to View Forms. Click on the link for Form 4868 to view and print.
