<prompt> Human: Did independent contracting with Lyft for several months and made over 600. Cant afford to pay taxes on it now since I was an idiot and spent the money elsewhere. Is there a way I can file an extension? And how long would I be able to have to pay those taxes off?  <response>: Even if you get an extension to file you still have to pay before April 15, and failure to do so will incur penalties and interest.How much was your total income last year? And are the 600 before or after deductions? Assuming you arent in a high tax bracket it is probably easier to just find a way to come up with the 100 or so you owe the IRS.
