What forms do I need to file an extension?

If you need more time to file your taxes in Washington, you must file for an extension. To do this, you must submit either a federal or Washington state extension form. The federal extension form, known as Form 4868, is used to get an automatic extension to file your taxes until October 15th. This form can be filed electronically or by mail. To file electronically, you must pay any taxes due by the deadline and provide a payment method, like a credit or debit card. To submit a paper copy of the form, mail it to the IRS address listed on the form. You may also need to submit a Washington state extension form, known as Form 0223. This is only necessary if you owe Washington state taxes. This form can be filed electronically, similar to Form 4868, or it can be mailed directly to the Washington State Department of Revenue. Be aware that filing an extension does not give you an extension to pay taxes due – you must pay any taxes you owe by the original deadline. Filing an extension simply gives you more time to file and submit your taxes, not an extra amount of time to pay.
