    If you do not have any tax due but a tax refund, you are not required to file an extension.

    Thanks for replying. The reason is that I am waiting for Voided1095-A and looks like I won't get it before the Tax deadline. Is it still OK not to file for extension?

    I would advise that you do. It doesn't cost anything, and you don't have to use it.

    See TurboTax Desktop in How do I file an IRS tax extension?

     

    • Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it does NOT extend the time to pay your taxes.
    • If you have an indication that you will owe taxes, you should make the payment to avoid additional interest and penalties

    This will give you until 15 October 2025 to file your taxes.

    If you owe taxes, you must pay by April 15th.

     

    To file for extension in the TurboTax program

    1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
    2. Select Tax Tools
    3. On the drop-down select Tools
    4. There will be 4 green boxes
    5. Select Tax Topics
    6. Type Extension
    7. You can start the extension process
