The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26
U.S.C. 6161 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to grant
taxpayers up to 6 months of additional time to pay taxes on any
return required under the IRC. Under that authority, the Alcohol
and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has issued form TTB F
5600.38, which taxpayers complete to apply for an extension of time
to pay excise taxes collected by TTB. A taxpayer uses that form to
identify themselves and the specific excise tax for which an
extension of time for payment is requested, and to explain the
reasons why the tax payment cannot be made on time. TTB uses the
information collected on the form and in any attachments to
evaluate the extension request, and it notifies the taxpayer of its
decision regarding the extension request by returning a copy of the
approved or disapproved form to the taxpayer.
