IRS: Deadline for E-Filing Tax Year 2009 Form 4868

ATTN: Software Developers, Return Transmitters and Authorized IRS e-file Providers/EROs:

Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, must be filed by April 15, 2010 in order to be accepted by e-file.
 
The disaster relief provision extends the filing deadline to May 11, 2010 for many federal tax returns.  However, we are unable to extend the e-file deadline for the Form 4868 for Tax Year 2009 beyond April 15, 2010.  Affected taxpayers who are unable to e-file Form 4868 by April 15, 2010 must file their extensions on paper.  For more information on Disaster Relief for federal tax purposes, please refer to the IRS website and search for Disaster Relief.
