In general, the deadline to e-file any tax extension form is the same as the deadline to file your tax return. For instance, the deadline to e-file IRS Form 1120 is March 15th, if you cannot file the return by this due date, then you must file your extension form 7004 by the same date, which is March 15, to get a 6-month extension of time to file. Similarly, for personal tax extensions, the deadline for filing the tax return for the 2022 tax year is generally April 18th, and the extension form must also be filed by this date.

However, it's important to note that an extension to file your tax return does not mean an extension to pay any taxes owed. If you owe taxes, you must still estimate and pay the amount due by the original tax deadline.
