The extension request must be received by the original Form 8865 due date. If mailed, the postmark counts; if e‑filed, the transmission timestamp counts. The IRS will automatically grant a 6‑month extension, moving the new deadline to the 15th day of the 9th month after the partnership’s tax year end.
