Urgent Pls help

Extension question Form 7004 for form 1120 for the automatic 6 month
extension.
******************************************************************************************************

I have a C corp which I closed down last year. I mailed in the
extension form 7004 to the IRS on 4/15/09 for the automatic 6 month
extension.

The extension arrived at the IRS after the 15th so they will not give
me an extension.

They sent me a copy of the form 7004 with a postmark from them on it
indicating postmarked 4/15/09 and received on4/17/09.

I thought as long as it was postmarked 4/15/09 it was fine.

Can anyone pls let me know if i am wrong or correct.

Thanks,

Ava

You already got a correct answer on this in the misc.taxes group from
Paul Thomas. Filing deadline was March 15th, not April 15th.
