Answer: Yes, Benita can file an automatic six month extension to file her tax return.

This extension must be filed by April 15th.

October 15th is the latest date she can file her return without penalty.

If October 15th falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, then the extended due date will be the 1st day after October 15th that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday without penalty.
