Once you submit your request, we’ll handle the rest to ensure it reaches the IRS on time and without errors, so you can stay compliant with ease.

• Form 8809 (E-file): If you e-file with us, we’ll immediately transmit your request to the IRS.

• Form 8809 (Mail): If you opt for the postal mailing option, we’ll print your extension request and mail it to the IRS on your behalf; otherwise, you can print and mail it to the IRS on your own.

• Form 15397 (Fax): If you opt for fax, we’ll process and fax your form directly to the IRS; otherwise, you can print and fax it to the IRS on your own.

You’ll receive an email notification once the IRS accepts your extension. You can also track the status of your request at any time from your dashboard.
