Does an extension to file extend time to pay?
AI reviewed
No. An extension of time to file a gift tax return does not extend the time to pay any gift tax. The IRS describes two ways to extend the filing deadline: an income tax extension (for example, Form 4868) also extends the gift tax return, or you can file Form 8892. If you're unsure about your deadline or a payment, a qualified tax professional can help.
