Overview

Form 8809 is used to request a 30-day extension to file certain information returns, including Forms 1099, W-2, 1095, and others.

This extension applies only to the deadline for filing the forms, not the IRS recipient copy deadline. To request an extension for the recipient copy deadline, you must file Form 15397 instead. Learn more
