No. A tax extension gives you more time to file a return. It does not give you more time to pay tax due.
Pay as much as you can by the original federal due date. Interest and penalties may apply to any unpaid balance, even when the extension is accepted.
For current IRS rules, see Federal tax deadlines and extensions: individual returns and IRS Tax Topic 304.
