Extension for business returns are handled using IRS Form 7004. However the deadline for any extensions have long since passed for the 2010 returns.
Every year, thousands of people find themselves unprepared to file their taxes. If you are one of them and simply fail to file your taxes, then you will have to face the wrath of the IRS. Instead of facing the wrath of the IRS, you should file a special form and receive a legal extension period for filing your taxes. You can file the Form 4868 and receive an automatic 6-month extension on the filing of your taxes. The only caveat with this option is that you must file for an extension by the due date set forth by the IRS.
If you have gone through an e-file provider, it will time stamp your application and apply for an extension on your behalf. If you do your own taxes, you can go to the IRS website and download or apply directly for an extension.
If you require a tax extension and do not owe any money to the IRS, then you are in good shape. However, if you do owe money to the IRS, then you are still going to have to pay up by the deadline. Even if you want to get a tax extension, you will have to pay at least 90% of what you owe to the IRS ahead of time. The other 10% of what you owe may then be given to the IRS by the tax extension deadline. Be sure to understand the tax extension deadline rules so you do not get into legal trouble with the IRS.
A tax extension is an approved extension for the date to submit your income taxes. In order to get a tax return extension, you are required to complete an application with the IRS which can be found here:http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf"

You can get an automatic 6 month extension period from the IRS. I found the form, but I'm sorry to not be able to find an actual deadline irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf Irs.gov has more info on things to consider when getting an extension.
Six monthsIf you file for an extension on your individual tax return, the IRS will give you six more months to complete the return. The IRS changed the extensions in 2006. There is now only the option for 6-month extensions (it used to be that you would file one extension, and could then file a second one for a total of 6 months). The IRS finally figured out that it would save a lot of work (and paper) to just give everyone a 6-month extension. That means an individual tax return would be due on October 15.Note: The extension is almost always for "time to file", NOT time to pay. You are still expected to pay by April 15. You must be entirely paid when you ask for the extension, or it won't be considered valid OR have penalties.
