The blanks that appear on Form 4868 Extension:
1. Full name and address
2. Your social security number
3. Spouse's social security (if married)
4. Estimate of TOTAL TAX liability for 2011.
5. TOTAL of all payments toward taxes for 2011.
6. Balance due if #4 above is larger than 5, you should try to pay this with your extension to avoid penalties. If you don't have the money, atleast you avoid paying LATE FILING penalties, but you will begin to accrue some interest on the amount you owe (this depends on your last year's tax liability and the date you finally pay).
If #5 if larger than 4, you expect a refund and leave box 6 blank.
I did an online extension (free) and it also asked me my filing status, but that doesn't appear on the IRS FORM 4868.
I have to say one thing, the problem is that many people file extensions because they don't know the answers to #4 and #5 above! I've never heard of repurcussions to entering this information to the best of your knowledge.. I've even sent one in blank before and as long as you file timely, you're probably okay!
Good luck!

If you don't owe any taxes do you have to file for an extension just to file the paperwork after the April deadline?
No, you don't need to file an extension if you don't owe the IRS any money. You only need to file an extension if you need more time to pay. The current law is you have three years to file for a refund and after that you forfeit it to the IRS. The IRS does not charge penalties to people that are owed refunds even if they are filing after due date (usually April 15). Just make sure you file within the 3 years. But if you owe money, even if you file an extension, if you do NOT pay by April 15, then you will owe interest and penalties on the money you owe. The extension is form 4868 and can be filed online through IRS.gov e-file, or by mailing in the form. The extension is NOT an extension for time to PAY, it is just an extension for time to file. Even if you are owed a refund, the IRS says that you are "required" to file if you made over the standard deduction. But in all reality, if they owe you money, they don't want to see you get it. If they owe you money, they don't care when or if you file, but they do like to keep tabs on you. There will be no penalties.
