Comparison

GrantExtension vs. TaxExtension.com

TaxExtension.com is the premium brand leader — 25+ years, four pricing tiers, and 50-state coverage. GrantExtension skips the tiers and upsells: one flat fee per extension — Form 4868 from $4.95, Form 7004 / 8868 at $9.95 each — for the same core job, done faster.

Where GrantExtension wins

  • Far lower price for the same core filing — Form 4868 from $4.95 vs. $19.95+ on a paid tier.
  • One transparent flat fee — no Free/Essential/Premium/Pro tiers to decode or upsell into.
  • A fast, mobile-first flow focused on getting the extension filed, not selling add-ons.
  • We never store your sensitive tax data after the extension is filed.
  • Money-back guarantee if the IRS rejects a return we can't fix.
When TaxExtension.com may fit better. If you want 50-state coverage in one place, 24/7 in-season live chat, or an integrated tax calculator and you don't mind paying a premium for the brand, TaxExtension.com delivers. If you just want your federal extension filed cheaply and quickly, GrantExtension is the simpler, lower-cost path.
