## Resource

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Form 7004 provides an automatic 6-month extension to *file* for partnerships, corporations, and trusts, not an extension to *pay*. - The form must be filed by the original due date of the tax return (e.g., March 15 for S-corps/partnerships, April 15 for C-corps/trusts for calendar-year entities). - A proper, good-faith estimate of the tax liability must be paid with the extension to avoid penalties and potential invalidation of the extension. - The exam frequently tests the distinction between filing deadlines and payment deadlines, often assessing penalties from the original due date. - The mnemonic "7004 opens the filing door, but you still pay on the original floor" helps recall the core rule.
