Yes, even if you get an extension, you still need to pay the IRS if you underpaid your federal taxes last year. To check if your area is included, look at the IRS' Tax Relief in Disaster Situations. If you live in one of these areas, you don't have to file extension paperwork or call the IRS to ask for extended time to file, the agency says. Yes, the IRS says it may provide an "automatic extension" to people who live in areas designed by FEMA as hit by disasters, such as flooding or tornadoes. Do people living in FEMA disaster areas get more time to file?

"You can also use IRS Free File to file for an extension electronically," noted O'Connell Rodriguez.
