It is not an extension of time to pay. You can file Form 4868 along with a check to cover your tax bill. You will want to send sufficient $ as the government late paying charges are sizable plus they charge interest.
States who collect individual income taxes provide similar methods for time extensions.
If you are self employed or retired and remit to Uncle Sam via quarterly estimates, remember that your first installment of 2008 income taxes is also due to be post marked on or before April 15.
A reminder that the stimulus checks are triggered by our tax filings.
There are many reasons to get those forms filed as soon as possible.
'til later
