Don't forget the attachments
Before you mail it
- Mail it by the due date. A paper filing counts as on time if it's properly addressed, has enough postage, and is postmarked and mailed on or before the due date.
- Get proof of mailing. USPS Certified Mail gives you a dated receipt. Keep it with a copy of the form.
- Using FedEx, UPS or DHL? Only certain services count for on-time filing, and they deliver to different street addresses. See the IRS list of private delivery services.
- No signature needed. Form 7004 doesn't have a signature line.
- One form per return. File a separate Form 7004 for each return you're extending.
- Don't wait for a reply. The IRS doesn't confirm extensions. It writes only if your request is disallowed.
- Filing the return electronically later? If you mail Form 7004 and then e-file the return, the return may be processed before the extension is granted, which can trigger a penalty notice.
You are responsible for the accuracy and timely filing of your form. We do not file anything for you on the free path. Verify the mailing address against current IRS instructions.
