If you sent your extension in on time, it should be granted. To confirm receipt, it's easiest if you use software like TurboTax Easy Extension, since you'll get a confirmation from TurboTax within 48 hours.

 

Even when filed before the deadline, some tax extension requests are rejected on or after that date. You'll get notified in an email or letter from the IRS if your extension request is denied. While the reasons behind this vary, the most common ones are:

  • Misspellings, switched numbers and other errors on the extension form
  • Out-of-date information, like old addresses or last names that don't match up to the IRS records

In these cases, the IRS provides a window of time—typically five days—in which you may fix issues and correct errors with your request in order to file again.
