What is Form 7004?


The IRS Form 7004 is a form that the IRS uses to grant an automatic extension of time to file certain business tax returns. This form is generally used by businesses that are not able to file their tax return by the original due date. The 7004 form allows businesses to extend their filing deadline by up to six months. 


 


If you need more time to file your taxes, you can use IRS Form 7004 to request an extension. This form grants you an automatic six-month extension of time to file your return. To request an extension, you must complete and submit the form before the original due date of your return. 


 


You may request an extension even if you are unable to pay your taxes owed by the original due date. However, please note that an extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay. If you owe taxes and do not pay them by the original due date, you will still be liable for interest and penalties on the unpaid amount.
