Why should I eFile a business tax extension (Form 7004)?

eFiling Form 7004 can provide a faster way to submit a business extension and retain an electronic filing record.

• File on or before the applicable original return due date.
• Check My Tax Filings for the IRS status and keep the acknowledgement for your records.
• If the IRS rejects the filing, review the rejection code, correct the identified issue, and resubmit promptly.

IRS response timing and the treatment of a corrected filing can vary. Do not rely on a universal correction window. A Form 7004 extension does not extend the time to pay tax due.
