IF you think you’re going to be late getting your forms in, apply for an Extension of Time to File. The application for extension must be submitted on or before the due date of the required forms, and must be submitted in duplicate. In most cases requests for extensions are granted for 90 days (requests for longer than 90 days must be supported with evidence of need; no extensions are granted for more than six months). This form is called "Application for Extension of Time to File," IRS Form 8868. You can pick up the Application for Extension when you get your copy of the 990 or 990EZ.
