Is there a paperless method for filing an extension?
For your convenience, you can get an automatic extension of time to file your tax return by filing Form 4868 electronically. You can authorize an electronic funds withdrawal from your checking or savings account. To be considered timely, a payment should be scheduled to be withdrawn on or before April 15, 2009. Also, you can get an extension if you pay part, or all, of your estimate of income tax due by credit or debit card.
