Exempt Organizations e-File - Return Extensions |
|
How do I electronically file for an extension?
Form 8868 Part I, the automatic 3-month extension, can be filed electronically or on paper. Part II, the "non-automatic" additional 3-month extension, must be submitted on paper. You must use an authorized e-file provider to electronically file Part I of Form 8868. The extension form can not be e-mailed to the IRS. A copy of the extension should not be attached to an e-filed return. Choosing to file an extension electronically does not require you to file your return electronically.
The e-file requirement for large exempt organizations applies to Forms 990 and 990-PF, and does not apply to the extension form. The extension may be filed electronically or on paper.
