Extension of Time Request
Need more time to paper or electronically file your information returns? We can apply for an extension of time to file. Time extension requests are $49 per payer/filer.
Payers/filers who need more time to file information returns with the IRS can request and will receive an automatic 30-day extension before the filing due date. You can request an extension of time to file any of the forms below:
W-2G,
1042-S,
1094-C, 1095,
1097-BTC, 1098, 1099,
3921, 3922,
5498, and
8027.
Time extension requests for Forms 1099-QA, 5498-QA, and W-2 must be submitted on paper.
Acknowledgements are automatically displayed online if the request is made by the due date of the return. We can electronically file a time extension request on your behalf using our Transmitter Control Code and forward to you a PDF copy of the IRS acknowledgement receipt for your records. We need the payer/filer name, street address, city, state, zip, EIN for the payer as well as a contact name, phone number and email.
Discounts are available for bulk extensions. Just call our sales office at (480) 706-6474 to get started.
The automatic extension is 30 days from the original due date.
