GrantExtension vs. Tax2efile
Tax2efile is a broad, multi-form IRS e-file shop (extensions, 2290, 1099, 990 and more). For a single extension, though, GrantExtension is the cheaper and simpler choice — Form 7004 / 8868 at $9.95 each, one flat fee shown before you pay.

Where GrantExtension wins
- Lower price on the business and nonprofit forms — 7004/8868 $9.95 vs. $14.99.
- One flat fee shown before you pay — no prepaid-credit balances to manage.
- A clean, mobile-first 5-minute flow built only for extensions, not a broad e-file suite.
- Your SSN or EIN is encrypted at rest, never shown in full after filing, and deleted 3 years after the return's due date.
- Money-back guarantee if the IRS rejects a return we can't fix.
When Tax2efile may fit better. If you also need to e-file other IRS returns in the same place — Form 2290 (HVUT), 1099s, or a 990-N or 990-EZ — Tax2efile's multi-form platform is convenient. For a single, fast, transparently priced extension, GrantExtension is the cheaper and easier choice.
