You can then file your federal income tax return anytime on or before the Oct 15th tax extension deadline.

Filing a federal tax extension on time does NOT grant you an extension of time to pay the amount of taxes you owe. If you find you cannot pay the full amount, you can still file an extension. However, you should pay as much as you can to limit the amount of interest and late payment penalties you may be charged for from the regular due date of your return.

Federal Tax Extension Filing

When you do file your federal tax return, you do not need to include a copy of your federal tax return extension form, the IRS will already have your federal taxes extension form per their email confirmation for your approved extension.

Late Tax Filing Penalty

If you do not file your return or extension by the due date, you may have to pay some failure-to-file penalties. The penalty is 5.0% of the unpaid balance for each month or part of a month that a return is late, up to a maximum penalty of 25%. If your return is over 60 days late, the minimum penalty is $100 or the balance of the tax due on your return, whichever is the lesser value.

You do not have to pay the amount of taxes you owe when you file federal tax extension forms, though you most likely will be responsible for interest charges. The main purpose for filing a federal income tax extension is to protect yourself from a Failure to File Penalty of 5% per month, and up to 25% of the taxes owed.
