ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0A request for extension form 8868 was received by the IRS in June 2024. We received no correspondence subsequent to that, however, the last extension we did receive an letter for (the April 2022) we requested extension thru 12/15 and they gave us through 3/15 of the following year. Our assumption was that this is the norm, now so we should be okay by filing before 3/15 of this year. I haven't gotten paper responses to 8868s in the last 2 years, so perhaps you don't send them anymore?
