I heard you can file a 4868 form for a four month extension? Is this right? Can I do this even if it is a return? How would I do this? File close to Ap. 15th and do I still have to send a 1040 or just the extention form?

You are correct, file Form 4868 close to April 15th. You will have to make an estimate of the tax you will owe, if any, and send in a check for that amount with the form. Make the estimate as close as possible. It does not have to be exact.. If you file Form 4868, you do not have to file your tax return at that time.
