4868 extension queries

Post by Potassium »

I just wanted to confirm that if I file a 4868 then the extension will also apply to:
- 3520 form (for a foreign gift, not a foreign trust)
- 1116/8938
- Fincen 114

The deadline for the 114 is June so I presume this isn't affected by the 4868. And I'd presume the 116 and 8938 are considered part of the main return so their deadline will be extended.
But the main reason I wanted to check is regarding the 3520 form (in my case I'm using this for a foreign gift, not a foreign trust). Will the 6 month extension granted for the 4868 also apply to the 3520?

I guess I found the answer for myself regarding the 3520:

"In general, Form 3520 is due on the date that your income tax return is due, [b]including extensions[/b]."
