Question

When you file an extension on your taxes how long is that extension for?

Answer 1

for personal taxes, after you file for an extension, you have until Oct 15 to complete it.

But the reality is that if you are due a refund, you can file anytime. You are just missing out on the money that's due to you. But if you owe, then you best file on time to avoid further penalty and interest charges.

Answer 2

when you file they give you the new due date on the spot.

Can be as little as 60 days and as many as 120---depends...but have no fear they will advise you

Answer 3

4 calendar months
