# How Can I File Deadline & Extension Information?
## Completing and Submitting form 4868
#### **How to Prepare, Purchase, and Submit a Tax Extension**
### **Overview**
A tax extension gives additional time to **file** a return, not additional time to **pay** taxes owed.
All extensions must be prepared in the software first, then purchased through the Customer Portal to trigger submission.
---
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Extension in Taxx Savage Software**
1. Log in to your Taxx Savage Software account
2. Open or create the client’s tax return
3. Go to the **Federal Section**
4. Select **Miscellaneous Forms**
5. Click **Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File (Form 4868)**
---
#### **Step 2: Complete Form 4868**
Enter the required information:
- **Tax Liability**
Enter the total estimated tax liability
*(You can use “Use Current Liability Amount” to auto-fill)*
- **Total Payments**
Enter total taxes already paid (withholdings + estimated payments)
- **Amount Paid**
Enter any payment being submitted with the extension
- **Out of Country**
Check if the taxpayer is outside the United States on the filing deadline
- **Electronic Payment (Optional)**
If paying electronically, enter bank account details and select a payment date
---
#### **Step 3: Purchase the Extension (Triggers Submission)**
Once Form 4868 is completed:
1. Go to the Customer Portal
👉 [https://hub.taxxsavage.com/](https://hub.taxxsavage.com/)
2. Select **File Extensions** from the left-hand menu
3. Extensions are **$15 each**
4. Enter:
- Tax year
- Number of extensions
- For each extension:
- First Initial
- Last Name
- Last 4 of SSN
5. Click **Add** for each entry
6. Click **Purchase Extensions**
7. Complete payment through the secure portal
**Important:**
Submitting payment notifies the review team to process and e-file the extension. No additional steps are required in the software.
---
#### **Important Notes**
- Extensions must be **completed in the software before purchase**
- Payment in the Customer Portal is what **triggers submission**
- Extensions and amended returns are processed by the review team
- An extension gives more time to file, **not more time to pay**
- Pay any estimated taxes by the original deadline to avoid penalties
---
#### **Filing Deadline Information**
- Standard deadline: **April 15**
- If April 15 falls on a weekend → moves to the next business day
- If impacted by **Emancipation Day** → may extend to April 16 or 17
---
#### **Submission Timing**
- Submit by **11:59 PM local time** on the deadline
- Early submission is strongly recommended to avoid delays
---
#### **Rejected Extensions**

- Deadline for retransmission: **11:59 PM on the 5th day after rejection**
---
#### **How to Check for Rejected or Unaccepted Extensions**

2. Select **Reports**
3. Click **Transmission Reports**
4. Choose:
- Federal → Federal Non-Accepted Returns
