Filing for a tax extension doesn't have to be complicated. This **Tax Extension Request Form** is designed specifically for accounting firms, tax preparation services, and businesses that need a professional, streamlined way to collect client information and generate IRS Form 4868 (Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return).

Built on Paperform's flexible platform, this template transforms a traditionally paper-heavy process into a smooth digital workflow. Clients can submit their extension request details online, make estimated tax payments directly through integrated Stripe processing, and trigger automatic form generation—all without endless email chains or manual data entry.

### Perfect for Tax Professionals and Accounting Firms

Whether you're a solo CPA, a mid-size accounting practice, or a tax preparation service managing hundreds of clients during tax season, this form helps you:

 - **Collect accurate taxpayer information** including SSN/EIN, filing status, and income estimates
 - **Calculate estimated tax liability** using built-in calculation fields
 - **Process extension payments securely** via Stripe integration
 - **Generate Form 4868 data** ready for IRS submission
 - **Create an audit trail** of extension requests and payments

The form's conditional logic ensures that only relevant questions appear based on filing status and payment requirements, keeping the experience clean and reducing client confusion during an already stressful time.

### Integrated Payments and Workflow Automation

Unlike traditional PDF forms or basic survey tools, this Paperform template includes built-in payment processing. Clients can calculate and pay their estimated tax liability directly within the form, and you'll receive instant notification when submissions come through.

Take it further with **[Stepper](https://stepper.io)** to automate your post-submission workflow: automatically send confirmation emails with Form 4868 details, update your practice management software, create calendar reminders for the October deadline, and route high-value clients to your senior team for review. Everything stays connected without manual handoffs.

For firms that need clients to sign acknowledgment statements or engagement letters related to extension filing, **[Papersign](https://papersign.com)** lets you turn submissions into legally binding eSignature requests, keeping the entire extension process—from request to signature to payment—in one seamless flow.

### Built for Compliance and Trust

This template is built on Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliant platform with data encryption, secure payment processing, and the ability to set data residency controls. While not HIPAA-compliant, Paperform provides the security foundation accounting firms need to handle sensitive taxpayer information responsibly.
