    When we are due a refund, is it mandatory to request an extension?
    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.
