If you are requesting an extension for more than one type of form, the request must be filed by the earliest due date of the combined forms.

Initial requests are granted automatically upon filing Form 8809, with the exception of Form 1099-MISC with NEC reporting. If you receive an automatic extension, you may request one additional extension by submitting a second Form 8809 by paper before the end of the first extension period.

Extension requests for Form 1099-MISC with NEC reporting and additional extension requests are not automatically granted and must meet certain criteria.
