Extension Period  
The automatic extension of time to file Form 8966 is 90  
days from the original due date.  
Hardship exception. The IRS may grant an additional  
90-day extension of time to file Form 8966 under the  
hardship exception. Requests for an additional extension  
of time to file Form 8966 aren't automatically granted.  
Generally, requests for additional time are granted only  
where it is shown that extenuating circumstances  
prevented filing by the date granted by the first request.  
See Regulation section 1.1471-4(d)(3)(vii). An example of  
an extenuating circumstance is a situation in which a filer  
is located in a Presidentially declared disaster area and is  
unable to resume business operations. After evaluating  
your hardship request, the IRS will notify you as to  
whether your request is approved or denied.  
General Instructions  
Purpose of Form  
Use Form 8809-I to request an initial or additional  
extension of time to file Form 8966 for the current tax year.  
Who Should File  
Filers who need more time to file Form 8966 with the IRS  
should file Form 8809-I before the due date of Form 8966.  
See When To File, later. Submit a separate request for  
each filer that is requesting an extension of time to file.  
Under the terms of their applicable intergovernmental  
agreements (IGAs), reporting Model 2 Foreign Financial  
Institutions (reporting Model 2 FFIs) aren't entitled to an  
extension of time for aggregate reporting on

is filed late and you haven't applied for and received an  
approved extension of time to file.

nonparticipating FFIs. Entities that are located in a Model  
1 jurisdiction and reporting on behalf of themselves (or  
any entities that are reporting on behalf of another entity  
that is located in a Model 1 jurisdiction) may not request  
an additional extension of time to file Form 8966 from the  
IRS because they must report directly to the Model 1  
jurisdiction's tax authority.
