when do you use 7004 vs 8868 extension

[WITAXLADY]

so I googled and one site says use 8868 and another 7004 for a Trust -

what determines which one?

1 trust is for charity and has -0- money to give out so it is a -0- return

3 are, 1041's  for  estates for the  deceased person's estate - in 3rd year, in forever, (forever is a negative),  in first year - does amount of time make a difference?

 

Thank you,

Form 8868 is for tax exempt entities. You stated there are form 1041's. I would be extremely careful here the IRS likes to penalize heavily for wrong form filings, late filings and using the wrong extension form. So, be sure the extension form you are using is for the right form to be filed. Google the 8868 and bring look at the form. The form shows which forms to use the 8868 for.
