This alert, from Desmond G. Sheridan, concerns electronically filing tax return extensions.
How to Electronically Complete Your
2008 Tax Return Automatic Extension Request 

The IRS is urging taxpayers who need additional time to complete tax returns to request an automatic extension by April 15. ( IR 2009-36 ) This year, anyone can e-file an extension at no cost from a home computer using IRS's Free File or FreeFile Fillable Forms. The extension gives taxpayers until October 15 to file the tax return. However, an extension does not give the taxpayer an extension of time to pay. Those who owe taxes can make a payment when filing the extension either by mailing a check or by several electronic payment methods, such as electronic funds withdrawals from bank accounts and credit card payments. IRS's Free File can be accessed at http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=118986,00.html and FreeFile Fillable Forms at http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=201897,00.html.
