It’s the IRS Application for Automatic Extension Of Time to File U.S. Tax Returns. Individual Income Tax Return. The original deadline for filing Form 4868 must be met. If you are physically located outside the United States at that time, Form 4868 cannot be filed after the deadline.
You cannot file for an extension if you have been granted an extension but failed to meet the extended deadline. The actual tax return filing is your next filing.
