Here’s what HIVE AI had to say about “Can taxpayers file after April 15 with an extension?”:
Can taxpayers file after April 15 with an extension?
Yes. If you request an automatic extension by the original due date (generally April 15), you get about 6 extra months to file your individual return, typically until October 15. 1 3
An extension gives you more time to file, but it does not extend the time to pay any tax due; payment is still due by the original deadline (generally April 15) to avoid penalties and interest. 2 4
If April 15 falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the deadline to file the extension (and to file/pay) moves to the next business day. 1
