For BEA to efficiently process your report and disseminate the final results of the survey, it is important that you make every effort to file on time. Nevertheless, reasonable requests for extension of the filing deadline will normally be granted if requested BEFORE the due date of May 31, 2023 or by June 30, 2023 for respondents submitting via BEA’s eFile system at www.bea.gov/efile.
Extension requests can be initiated and automatically approved via eFile. Log into your eFile account, select the appropriate survey and filing period, then select the "Request an Extension" button. Automatic extensions will not be available for BE-12/15 ID’s that are in a delinquent status for the previous filing period via eFile. Please contact BEA via secure message or at 301-278-9247 for further information.
