by filing a tiny form. It doesn’t even require a signature. It couldn't be easier. Of course, the extension is to file your tax return, it is not an extension of time to pay. Thus, you need to pay by April 15 what you expect to owe when you actually file your taxes later in the year, anytime up until October 15th. But are Many returns around April 15th are filed in haste, some carelessly. And that can bring on an audit.
