tax extension

More time granted

A tax extension is additional time granted to file a tax return beyond the standard deadline.

In the US, individuals can request an automatic six-month extension, pushing the April deadline to October.

The extension applies only to filing paperwork—any taxes owed are still due by the original date, and late payment incurs penalties and interest.

I filed for a tax extension because I'm still waiting on documents.
