The IRS changed the extensions in 2006. There is now only the option for 6-month extensions (it used to be that you would file one extension, and could then file a second one for a total of 6 months). The IRS finally figured out that it would save a lot of work (and paper) to just give everyone a 6-month extension. That means an individual tax return would be due on October 15.
Note: The extension is almost always for "time to file", NOT time to pay. You are still expected to pay by April 15. You must be entirely paid when you ask for the extension, or it won't be considered valid OR have penalties.
