If you need extra time to file your taxes, we recommend submitting an extension by April 15th. Keeper doesn’t currently offer extension filing as a standalone service, but we can share free resources to help you file on your own.
You can file an extension directly through the IRS using this link:

What if I miss filing an extension before the deadline?
Once the tax deadline has passed, you can no longer file an extension. If you miss the deadline to file your return and didn't file an extension, you may incur late filing fees. Additionally, if you owe taxes, late payment penalties could apply. However, it’s worth noting that the IRS doesn’t always impose these penalties! You can find more information about penalties here:
