Form 8868 is an application used by exempt organizations to request an automatic 3-month extension (or a 6-month extension for corporations filing Form 990-T) to file their returns. It also allows for an additional 3-month extension if the initial automatic extension was insufficient. The form requires specific information about the organization, including its identifying number and the type of return being filed. Instructions detail the filing process, eligibility criteria, and payment requirements, emphasizing that extensions do not extend the time to pay taxes.
