Fill out Form 7004 free
Answer six short steps in plain English. We fill in the IRS PDF in your browser and show you where to mail it. No account, no cost, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
- The right form code, picked for you. Tell us what you file; we set Part I.
- Your due dates, including fiscal years and weekend or holiday rollover.
- Only the questions that apply. Most businesses skip lines 2 to 4.
- The balance due, figured for you, with a heads-up if you owe.
- The filled IRS PDF, ready to print. No signature needed.
- The exact IRS address for your return, state and assets.
- Private by design. We never see your EIN, name or numbers.
You print it and mail it to the IRS.
Free vs e-file: what's the difference?
Both get your extension request to the IRS. The free form is filled out here and mailed by you. E-filing sends it electronically, for a fee.
| Free: fill out, print and mail | E-file | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free here, plus postage | There is a cost to e-file |
| How it reaches the IRS | You mail it | Sent electronically |
| On time if | Postmarked by the due date | Transmitted by the due date, in your time zone |
| Proof the IRS got it | Your mailing receipt; the IRS doesn't confirm paper extensions | An IRS acknowledgment |
| Paying a balance | EFTPS or IRS.gov/Pay | Can be paid in the same step by electronic funds withdrawal |
