Use Bank Statements When Filing a Tax Extension

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay taxes when filing a Form 4868 extension?

Yes. A tax extension gives you more time to file, not more time to pay. You must estimate and pay your tax liability by the original deadline (April 15) to avoid underpayment penalties and interest.

How do I estimate my tax from bank statements?

In Excel, use SUMIF on your Credit column to sum all income deposits for the year. Subtract estimated deductible expenses. Apply your estimated tax bracket to get approximate taxes owed. This gives a rough estimate — consult a CPA for accuracy.
