BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A few helpful answers.
Which forms does 8809 cover?
Choose from the categories printed on the original: W-2/W-2G, 1042-S, 1094-C/1095, 1097/1098/1099, 3921/3922, 5498 and 8027. NEC and QA have separate 1099 categories.
Is an extension automatic?
Initial requests generally qualify for an automatic 30-day extension except W-2 and 1099-NEC. Those requests and all additional-extension requests require a qualifying justification and a signed paper Form 8809. Approval of a nonautomatic request is not guaranteed.
Can I request an additional extension for W-2 or 1099-NEC?
No. The tool blocks an additional extension for those categories.
Why can electronic returns still need a paper extension request?
Line 3 describes how the information returns will be filed. It does not change the requirement to submit a nonautomatic Form 8809 request on signed paper.
Does this extend the deadline to give recipients their statements?
No. Form 8809 concerns filing information returns. It does not extend the time to furnish statements, file an individual income-tax return or file Form 1042.
What about multiple payers / filers?
Enter the total only for a consolidated request and attach a separate typed list of names and TINs. The list is not generated by this tool. Leave Line 4 blank when using a separate Form 8809 for each request.
What does the price include?
$9.99 USD covers one two-page Form 8809 PDF prepared from your entries. Submission, approval and attachments are not included.
Can I save and return later?
Yes. Saved links last 30 days and completed-order access lasts 90 days. Completed-order emails include your private access link.
