the IRS does not send any confirmation to let you know that your Extension has been accepted.

A Tax Extension will automatically extend your Filing Deadline by up to 6 months depending on the
particular form you need to file.
- IRS Form 7004: Extends the Tax Filing Deadline upto 7 Months depending on the tax year ending. This can be used by Multi-Member LLC's C-Corporations, S-Corporations, Partnerships, Trusts, & Estates. The Traditional deadline to file this form is March 16.
- IRS Form 4868: Extends the Tax Filing Deadline by 6 months for Personal Tax Returns. This Form can be used by Individuals, Families, 1099 Contractors, Sole Proprietorships, & Single Member LLCs. The deadline for this form is April 15th.
- IRS Form 8868: This form provides an automatic 6-month extension for tax-exempt organizations - it is typically filed by May 15th, or by the 15th day of the 5th month after your tax period ends, if more time is needed to submit a 990 form.
Note: An IRS Tax Extension extends the amount of time to File a Tax Return. It does not Extend the amount of time to Pay any Taxes Due. The IRS will still expect the tax payment on the traditional deadline. However, the IRS Penalties for a Failure to Pay are significantly lower than the penalties for a Failure to File. So, if you are short on cash, it is better to pay what you can & file the Tax Extension before the deadline.
