I missed the tax extension deadline. Can I get another extension?

No. The IRS does not provide a second standard federal extension because you missed a deadline.

Form 4868 must be filed by the original due date of the return, and it generally provides one extension of time to file.

What support can and cannot do

Support, a supervisor, and a tax professional cannot grant, backdate, approve, or sell an additional federal extension. They also cannot change the IRS filing date for an extension submitted after the deadline.

What to do instead

1. File your tax return as soon as you can.
2. Pay as much of any expected balance as possible.
3. Keep your filing and payment records.

Remember: an extension gives more time to file, not more time to pay.

Filing late may result in penalties and interest if you owe tax. If you expect a refund, filing late generally does not create a late-filing penalty, but the IRS has deadlines for claiming a refund.

Limited IRS relief

Certain taxpayers may qualify for separate IRS relief, such as disaster relief, qualifying military relief, or rules for taxpayers abroad. Those are IRS eligibility rules; they are not exceptions that customer support can approve.
