Extension of time to file
An extension gives you more time to file, not more time to pay. To avoid penalties and interest, you must pay any estimated tax owed by the April 15th deadline.
Federal (IRS): If you are making a payment, do so via the IRS Direct Pay link. This automatically extends your return. If you are not making a payment and still want to file an extension, mail IRS Form 4868. Fill out step 1 with your information and mail it to the IRS address.
Indiana (DOR): Indiana accepts your Federal extension if you do not owe taxes. If you do owe, you must make an extension payment through the Indiana State Payments portal using their set of instructions.
Refunds: If you are due a refund, a formal extension is generally not required to avoid penalties, but it is still recommended for your records.
