Do I need to file Form 2688?

You no longer need to request a 2nd extension (old IRS Form 2688).

This form was used to request an additional 2-month extension when the first extension provided only a 4-month extension of time.

Now that Form 4868 provides an automatic 6-month extension, you will no longer need to submit Form 2688.

What if I owe to the IRS?

If you owe the IRS, you must pay your tax in full by April 15th.

If you do not pay your tax in full, the IRS will calculate penalties and interest on your outstanding balance.

The penalty for not filing is 5% per month up to a maximum penalty of 25% of the balance due.

By contrast, the failure to pay penalty is 0.5% per month, plus a monthly interest charge.

The bottom line? If you think you owe, file an extension!
