Well don't take my advice as the word of God, but read your 4868 form -- right on the form it says you can go to officialpayments.com and you don't have to file 4868... Essentially 4868 only asks you to "estimate" how much you think you owe -- just like the officialpayments.com site does.... and 4868 says the minimum you can pay is $1 -- after you finish your officialpayments.com transaction -- it says "you have fullfilled your obligation to the IRS to file for an extension"... I could have estimated more than $1 but shit I have a long way to go on my forms -- I got to figure out my health insurance deduction, my student loan deduction, yadda yadda...
But I'm sure the $1 deal will make me a prime audit target and I bet they will charge me some nice fees, penalties, and interest ;) I don't pay estimated taxes anyway so what's 4 more months of penalties and interest?
