  • whether or not the organization is a corporation that is the common parent of a group that intends to file a consolidated return
  • whether or not the organization is a corporation or partnership that qualifies under section 1.6081-5

And, followed with the application’s calendar year, tax year beginning and ending. You’ll then enter the tentative total tax, the total amount of tax payments and credits, and the balance due. 

The same as any other extension, you must pay the Internal Revenue Service by the payment deadline that applies to the organization. If the unpaid tax isn’t paid on time, you will get hit by late payment penalties and possible interest.
