How do I make extension payments for a corporate return?
Electronic Funds Withdrawal may be used to pay the tax due with the extension:
- Go to Screen 4.1, Miscellaneous Information.
- Scroll down to the Direct Deposit of Refund (8050) / Electronic Payment section.
- Check the box labeled Electronic payment of tax due with extension.
Additional information
- The program uses the original due date for the electronic payment date.
- Enter the date in mm/dd/yy format in Extension payment date [O] if you want the debit of the electronic payment to take place on a day other than the original due date.
- The IRS e-file program doesn't allow the electronic payment date to be delayed after that date for holidays.
- If the taxpayer's bank is closed for a specific holiday, the electronic payment will be withdrawn the next business day.
- The IRS doesn't support the electronic payment of estimates with the filing of a corporate return. All estimated tax payments must be paid using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS).
