Form 4868: reasonable estimate required.A calendar-year taxpayer generally must file his return by April 15 after the close of the calendar year (Sec. 6072(a)).

The taxpayer was a partner in a law firm, and he argued that he could not make a better estimate since the partnership tax returns had not been prepared as of April 15.
