What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Can someone kindly tell me if I can file an extension to my extesion deadline of Oct 15th? What form should I fill.
On April 15th 2012 I filed an extension. My new deadline is Oct 15th and I may be a few days late.
I have already overpaid taxes via extra Federal withholding on Apr 15th but did not pay extra taxes to California State.
Past 2 years I had refunds from both Fed and State 1040.
I have 401K, stock option plan and a regular job. No house nor property.

I don't think the IRS will give you any more time. See the form here with instructions.
Late Filing Penalty
A late filing penalty is usually charged if your return is filed after the
due date (including extensions). The penalty is usually 5% of the
amount due for each month or part of a month your return is late.
The maximum penalty is 25%. If your return is more than 60 days
late, the minimum penalty is $135 or the balance of the tax due on
your return, whichever is smaller. You might not owe the penalty if
you have a reasonable explanation for filing late. Attach a
statement to your return fully explaining your reason for filing late.

The answer is no, and quite frankly I would be hard pressed to understand why anyone should NEED more time at this point.
