Returns shown on Parts I and III of Form 7004 (including Forms 1120 (with tax years ending that do NOT end on June 30), 1041 (bankruptcy estate only), and 1065) are eligible for an automatic 6-month extension of time to file from the due date of the return. Returns shown on Part II of Form 7004 (including Form 1041 (other than a bankruptcy estate)) are eligible for an automatic 5-1/2 month extension of time to file from the due date of the return.

Certain states will allow an accepted federal Form 7004 as an extension of time to file your state return, while other states require a separate extension request. TaxAct will provide information about state filing requirements during the extension interview.
