Free File: everyone can file an extension for free

The following companies partner with the IRS Free File program, so that you can e-file your tax filing extension for free. Please be aware that filing an extension gives you time to e-file your federal tax return. If you have a balance due, the deadline to pay is still April 15, 2024. However, if you want to file your taxes now with free, easy to use software use IRS Free File.

Special rules for extension of time to file may apply if you are serving in a combat zone or a qualified hazardous duty area; if you live outside the United States or you qualify for tax relief in disaster situations.
