Hi,
I have one doubt.
When we are due a refund and filing late for some valid reason, is it mandatory to request an extension by filing form 4868?

Thanks for your time and reply.

Hello k:

If you owe them, you must file an extension. But, if they owe you, you can wait three years, and still get your refund.
