An electronic postmark is provided by the transmitter to the taxpayers, which bears the actual date and time (as per the taxpayer's timezone) the extension is received by the transmitter through e-filing.
The IRS accepts the extension request if the electronic postmark is on or before the deadline and treats it as a timely filed extension.
If the electronic postmark is dated after the Extension filing deadline, the IRS will consider the actual date of receipt as the filing date for that return.
