A friend always files for an extension (he's a procrastinator) and never pays any penalties or interest because, as he says, he has enough withheld during the year to cover what he owes when he eventually files. As I understand it, an extension allows one to wait until October of the same tax year to file. October has come and gone and he still has not filed for 2011. Can he get an extension of his extension ad infinitum, until he's in the mood to file? Can he extend his 2012 filing even with an outstanding prior year extension?
