General Instructions
Purpose of form. Use Form 8809-EX to request a 30-day extension
of time to file an Excise Summary Terminal Activity Reporting
System (ExSTARS) information report (Form 720TO, Terminal
Operator Report, or Form 720CS, Carrier Summary Report).
For Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice, see instructions.

Date ▶

How to file. All requests must include an extension reason. All initial
30-day requests will be honored except for those without a reason.
When to file. File this form with the IRS on or before the due date of
the return. If you are requesting an extension of time to file both
Form 720TO and Form 720CS, you may use one Form 8809-EX.
Extension period. The automatic extension is 30 days from the
original due date. You may request one additional extension of not
more than 30 days by submitting a second Form 8809-EX before
the end of the first extension period (see Line 5, later). Requests for
an additional extension of time to file information returns are not
automatically granted. Generally, the IRS will not grant additional
time except in cases of extreme hardship or catastrophic event.

If we deny your request, we will send a letter to your address on
record with an explanation for denial. Failure to update a change of
address may result in a late filing penalty. See Where To File, below,
for the address to send your change of address or any other
ExSTARS correspondence. If we do not send you a letter of denial,
you may consider your extension request to be approved.
Extension denials. If we deny an application for extension of time
to file, the information provider must file the return by the required
filing date or within 1 business day from the official denial date,
whichever is later.
Penalty. If you file required information returns late and you have
not applied for and received an approved extension of time to file,
you may be subject to a late filing penalty. The amount of the
penalty is based on when you file the correct information return.
