Does a Single-member LLC need to file an extension?

Yes, a single-member LLC can file an extension through ExpressExtension. ExpressExtension is an IRS-authorized e-file provider. It allows you to file various tax extension forms, including Form 7004 for single-member LLCs as corporations and Form 4868 for single-member LLCs as Sole Proprietorships if you cannot file your tax return by the original due date, which is typically April 15th of each year.

If the due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the due date will be on the next business day. For the 2022 tax year, the due date to file Form 4868 is April 18, 2023. Filing an extension using Form 4868 will give an additional six months to file the tax return. The extended due date for a single-member LLC's tax return is October 16th.

It's important to note that while an extension provides additional time to file the tax return, it does not provide additional time to pay any taxes owed. Any taxes owed must be paid by the original due date to avoid penalties and interest.
