All e file tax extension requests needs to be submitted to the Internal Revenue Service to avoid late penalty charges. A big misconception about fling for an extension for your tax return is that it will also allow you extended time on paying the taxes you owe (if any) to the IRS. That is not a true at all.

If you owe taxes you will be subject to pay the penalties that have accrued each month, so please be careful. Filing for an extension does not take a lot of time and is very simple for just about anyone to do.
