If you were an expat living abroad on 4/15/15, your tax return for 2014 is due on 6/15/15. It can be extended further by filing form 4868 by that due date. Then your return is due on 10/15/15. These same due date rules apply to nonresident US tax returns. This extension can be filed on paper or there are some on line locations which may permit you to file this extension form. Be certain to check the box indicating your are an expat.
If you need additional time to qualify for the bonafide residence foreign earned income exclusion (form 2555) you can file form 2350 to extend your return further out until a date you have qualified for a full calendar year living abroad.
Your Form 114 (FBAR) which reports your foreign financial accounts is due on 6/30/15 for 2014 and cannot be extended any further. Failure to timely file this reporting form can result in substantial penalties. You can only file this form on line at http://bsaefiling.fincen.treas.gov/NoRegFBARFiler.html
Though expats get these special extension rules, any taxes owed must be paid in by 4/15/15 to avoid penalty and interest charges if any taxes are later due with the return.
