How do I find Form 4868 in the OLT Software to File for an Extension?
To request an automatic extension of time to file your U.S. individual income tax return using the OLT (Online Taxes) software, follow these simple steps:
Steps to Add Form 4868 in OLT Software
- Log in to your OLT software and open your tax return.
- Locate and click on the Tax Tools button in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Select Extension from the available options.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete and submit Form 4868 electronically.
Form 4868 is used to request an automatic 6-month extension (or 4 months if you are a U.S. citizen or resident abroad) to file your Form 1040, 1040-SR, 1040-NR, or 1040-SS. You must file Form 4868 by the original due date of your return, which for most taxpayers is April 15, 2026, for the 2025 tax year.
Note: If you make an electronic payment for your estimated tax liability and indicate that it is for an extension, you do not need to file Form 4868 separately. The IRS will automatically process your extension request when you pay electronically.
Alternative Methods to File Form 4868
- Electronic Filing: Use IRS e-file through your tax software or a tax professional.
- Paper Filing: Complete and mail Form 4868 to the address provided in the form’s instructions.
