See IRS Publication 54: Tax Guide for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad to learn if this form might help you. Form 2350 does NOT extend the time for payment of tax.

No, IRS does not require any reason for requesting an extension.

File Form 2350 on or before the due date of your Form 1040. For a 2017 calendar year return, this is April 17, 2018. However, if you have 2 extra months to file your return because you were “out of the country”, file Form 2350 on or before June 15, 2018. You should file Form 2350 early enough so that if it is not approved, you can still file your return on time.

Use Form 2350 to ask for an extension of time to file your tax return only if you expect to file Form 2555 or 2555-EZ and you need the time to meet either the bona fide residence test or the physical presence test to qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion and/or the foreign housing exclusion or deduction.

All other taxpayers should file Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to request an extension of time to file their return.

Note: Do not file Form 2350 more than once for each move overseas. If, after meeting the qualifications for the “bona fide residence test” or the “physical presence test,” you remain abroad continuously for the following tax year(s) and require an extension, file Form 4868.

Foreign country; A foreign country is a country other than the United States or any of its possessions or territories.

Any individual who is under court order to file return by the due date.

If you are US citizen or Resident working abroad you can qualify for Alien abroad and the due date is 15th June (additional 2 months). You should use Form 2350 “Application for extension of time to file US income tax return”.

No you will not receive any acknowledgement from IRS. This is an automatic extension.

You will need an estimate of taxes owed for the year. Also, you need the taxes already paid by you during the year. This will determine how much you still owe. You pay as much as you can, through your credit card or debit card or money order or check. Dates of your travel and other details are must to be entered to complete form 2350.

Yes you can e-file form 2350 only if your tax year is calendar year. All fiscal year tax payers must file a paper form 4868.

This option of payment can be done only if you e-file form 2350. You can also make Electronic Fund Withdrawal (EFW) from your savings or checking account. Check with your bank for the correct routing number and account number.

The application will request you to provide the needed information. The amount withdrawn will be the amount you owe. You will be asked to make the following declaration. “I authorize the U.S. Treasury and its designated Financial Agent to initiate an ACH electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit) entry to the financial institution account indicated in the tax preparation software for payment of my Federal taxes and the financial institution to debit the entry to this account. To revoke a payment, I must contact the U.S. Treasury Financial Agent at 1-888-353-4537 no later than 2 business days prior to the payment (settlement) date. I also authorize the financial institutions involved in the processing of the electronic payment of taxes to receive confidential information necessary to answer inquiries and resolve issues related to the payment”.

No do not attach 2350 while filing your final return.

Yes, in case you need extra time to file your returns you should file for extension even if you do not owe or expect refund from IRS. Please remember IRS will refund only when you file your returns.

Yes, Form 2350 does not extend the time to pay taxes. If you do not pay the amount due by the regular due date, you will owe interest. You may also be charged penalties.

Interest. You will owe interest on any tax not paid by the regular due date of your return, even if you qualify for the 2-month extension because you were out of the country. The interest runs until you pay the tax. Even if you had a good reason for not paying on time, you will still owe interest.

Late payment penalty. The late payment penalty is usually ½ of 1% of any tax (other than estimated tax) not paid by April 17, 2018 (for a calendar year return), or June 15, 2018, if you have 2 extra months to file your return because you were out of the country. It is charged for each month or part of a month the tax is unpaid. The maximum penalty is 25%. You might not owe this penalty if you have a good reason for not paying on time. Attach a statement to your return, not to the Form 2350, explaining the reason.

a) You should file Form 2350 by the due date of your return to request an extension of time to file. Form 2350 is a special form for those U.S. citizens or residents abroad who expect to qualify under either the bona fide residence test or physical presence test and would like to have an extension of time to delay filing until after they have qualified.

b) If the extension is granted, you should file your return after you qualify, but by the approved extension date.

c) You must file your Form 1040 with Form 2555 (or Form 2555-EZ).

Generally, only U.S. currency is acceptable for payment of income tax.

Yes. You can claim the foreign earned income exclusion and the foreign housing exclusion or deduction under either test as long as you meet the qualification requirements. You are not bound by the test indicated in the application for extension of time. You must be sure, however, that you file the Form 1040 return by the date approved on Form 2350, since a return filed after that date may be subject to a failure to file penalty. If you will not qualify under the bona fide residence test until a date later than the extension granted under the physical presence rule, apply for a new extension to a date 30 days beyond the date you expect to qualify as a bona fide resident.

If you reside abroad on April 17, you have an automatic extension of time to file your tax return. You need to either file a further extension request or your return by June 15. You only need to maintain your tax residence abroad on April 17 to qualify for this extension - you can be physically present in the US on April 17. The IRS will still charge interest on any unpaid balance as of April 17.

If you use this extension and are filing your return by June 15, attach a paper statement that you lived abroad on April 17. If you are requesting a further extension on Form 4868, check the box that you are "out of the country" on Form 4868. If you are requesting a further extension on Form 2350, check the box that you have previously granted an extension.

We suggest that you file an extension by April 17 rather than use this automatic extension. Many of the extension options, such as electronic filing, have previously not been available after April 17.

You need to wait to file your tax return to claim the foreign earned income exclusions until you have met your qualifying period. The IRS will give you 30 days past the end of this period if you file Form 2350.

Example: You need additional time to qualify for the physical presence test so that you have 330 full foreign days outside the US during your 12 month period. In this example, your 12 month period ends October 30. You would request an extension to November 30 on Form 2350.

Example: You need additional time to qualify for the bona fide residence test so that you have been a bona fide resident of the foreign country for an entire calendar year. You would request an extension to January 30 of the next year on Form 2350.

You can print for your recordkeeping before or after you e-file.

The applications are very rarely rejected if it is filed through ExtensionTax.com. Our algorithm makes sure that application is accurate before transmitting to IRS. If you receive an email stating that your application is rejected, please login back to the system, the reason for rejection will be given. Fix the issue and re-submit it.

Rejection happens when there is an issue with your extension form as part of e-filing. In this case, you will be notified with reason for rejection and allowed to re-submit the extension form to IRS.

Disallow happens when IRS reviews the extension forms and does not grant the automatic extension to file your tax return.

NO, IRS will no longer be sending notifications that your extension has been approved. If you did not receive stating that your request for an extension is disallowed, then it means that your request for an extension is approved.
