Non profit & automatic extension

[TPApril]

non profit company that files Form 990 as 501c3 did not submit 5558 to extend their medical plan 5500. question is, is there such a thing as an extension on form 990 that would allow said company to check off 'automatic extension' and not file under dfvc? (case in question would be due 4/15/15)

I don't see any reason that the non-profit employer and plan sponsor shouldn't be able to extend the 5500 by filing for a 990 extension (1st 3 months automatic, next 3 months for cause) so long as the employer year and plan year are the same.
