U.S. citizens and resident aliens living overseas or serving in the military outside the U.S. must file their 2015 income tax returns by 6/15/16. To use this automatic two-month extension, taxpayers must attach a statement to their return explaining which of these situations (i.e., living overseas or serving in the military outside the U.S.) applies. An additional two-month extension (until 10/17/16) can be requested by filing Form 4868. For information, see www.irs.gov/Individuals/International-Taxpayers/U.S.-Citizens-and-Resident-Aliens-Abroad. Contact your local tax advisor for assistance.
