Filers can electronically request an extension for the Form 1040 series through TaxBandits before the April 15 deadline.

ROCK HILL, SC / ACCESS Newswire / April 9, 2026 / TaxBandits, an IRS-authorized e-file provider, is offering e-filing support for extension Form 4868, allowing filers to request a six-month extension for Form 1040 series submissions due April 15, 2026.

"With the April 15 deadline almost here, we're seeing more and more filers rushing to submit, which risks errors," said Naga Palanisamy, CEO of SPAN Enterprises. "That's why TaxBandits supports 4868 extensions e-filing, giving filers their time back and the opportunity to prepare thoroughly."

Filing Form 4868 helps prevent late-filing penalties by granting a six-month extension to submit Form 1040 and related returns without requiring a reason.
