As a sole proprietor, you typically won’t need to use Form 7004 to request an extension for filing taxes. Since there’s no legal distinction between you and your business, you can request an automatic filing extension by using IRS Form 4868.
Remember, it’s always a good idea to seek advice from a tax professional or directly from the IRS to clarify your specific filing obligations and ensure you’re meeting all necessary tax requirements.
