Extensions of Time
to File Your Tax Return
New! File by Phone



Courtesy of IRS


The IRS has a special toll-free phone line for people to request extensions by telephone. The number is 1-888-796-1074. It is available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., local time (except in Hawaii and Alaska, which should use Pacific Time). Use Form 4868 as a worksheet to prepare for the call and have a copy of your 2002 tax return.

The system will give you a confirmation number to signify that the extension request has been accepted. Put this confirmation number on your copy of Form 4868 and keep it for your records. Do not send the form to the IRS.

You may also e-file an extension request using tax preparation software on your own computer or by going to a tax preparer. Those filing by computer get an acknowledgment that the IRS has received their request.
