### Who Should Use Form 7004?

Corporations, partnerships, trusts, estates, and all other entities that must file business income tax returns or information returns listed in the document should use IRS Form 7004. However, even when they are granted an automatic filing extension, they still must pay their taxes by the original deadline.

If Form 7004 isn’t submitted, you will not receive an automatic filing extension for business income tax or information returns. In other words, while IRS Form 7004 isn’t mandatory, failing to file either your return or an extension by the deadline may result in penalties.
