IRS Extension Deadline Looms; Form Available for More Time

IRS Extension Deadline Looms; Form Available for More Time: "WASHINGTON � Taxpayers who requested the automatic four-month extension to file their 2004 tax return face an Aug. 15 deadline. People who are unable to meet this looming deadline may seek an additional two-month extension.
Taxpayers with special circumstances or hardships should file Form 2688, Application for Additional Extension of Time to File, before Aug. 15. This extension request is not automatic. If the IRS approves the Form 2688 request, taxpayers will have until Oct. 17 to file their return."
