Fellow procrastinators....BELOW is a link to the FEDERAL - IRS
EXTENSION REQUEST.... you have to print out and mail to the IRS per the directions in the INSTRUCTIONS. See earlier posted link for the NYS Extension Request.
In my experience if you owe, and can't
pay it all, send a partial with whatever you can afford along with a note requesting a
payment plan. Generally they want it paid off within one year...better than not filing and the IRS will generally go along...of
course there are interest and penalties, but a payment plan is easier to "chip
away" at!
HERE is link to the pdf IRS Form 4868 - requesting an extension to file your final 2015 return by OCTOBER 17, 2016; https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf
... BUT make sure these extensions are POSTMARKED TOMORROW - Monday - April 18...
Here is another good link: 2 MINUTE Video showing how to fill out and details...although it is a 2011 video the FORM IS STILL THE SAME....... !
