Form 8868 is an application used by exempt organizations to request an automatic 6-month extension of time to file their tax returns. The form must be filed separately for each return and can be submitted electronically, except for certain forms that require paper submission. It includes instructions on how to complete the form, deadlines for filing, and payment requirements. The document emphasizes that extending the filing deadline does not extend the time to pay any taxes owed.
