Tips for e-filing Form 4868 extensions
In order to e-file the 4868 extension, you must mark one of the PIN boxes on the Main Information Sheet. PINs are not required for a regular extension, but they are required if the Taxpayer wants an ACH debit (money taken out of a bank account).
All extension e-filing requires that you use a PIN program. Please see F1 Help on the Main Information Sheet for information on how to use both the Self-Select and Practitioner PIN programs.
Practitioner PIN can be used for the ACH debit extension.
For Form 2350, you must have the PINs entered.
You do NOT have to complete any ACH information unless you have a balance due and are using ACH.
If you check the 4868 with direct debit box on the Main Information Sheet, Form 8878 will be required.
