sole prop filing/funding deadline

[Santo Gold]

Can a sole proprietor obtain an extension on his tax return (normally due 4/15) that both extends when the form is due and when he has to fund a prior years employer contribution? If so, how late can that be extended?

Thanks

Yes. October 15.

What type of plan? Are the fiscal years and plan years coincident?

[Calavera]

For a calendar year plan the contribution due date is September 15.

Sorry, right - I assumed ps plan. Pension plan has minimum funding deadline of 8 1/2 months after end of plan year, and it's not extended by tax return extension.
