IRS Free File.
Taxpayers who need more time to file their taxes can use IRS Free File to electronically request a six-month extension by the April tax filing due date.
There is no income limit for filing Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, through IRS Free File. Filing an extension gives taxpayers until October 15, 2025, to file returns without incurring failure-to-file penalties.
However, the IRS clarified that taxpayers must still pay what they owe by April 15, regardless of any filing extension unrelated to disaster relief. Interest and a late payment penalty may apply to any 2024 tax payments made after April 15.
