6. Do I need to file an extension if I'm getting a refund?
You are not required to file an extension for your federal return. Because the IRS calculates the late-filing penalty off of any additional taxes you owe ($0 in your case), there’s no penalty because $0 × anything = $0. However, it’s best to go ahead and file an extension for below good reasons:
• If you end up owing (e.g., you corrected an error, forgot to enter a W-2, got a revised 1099 form, etc.) an extension protects you from the late-filing penalty
• Some states require that you file a federal extension to get a state extension
