contents In this paper, we discuss twisted Alexander polynomials of a knot for group extensions of a finite group in two directions. Firstly, we provide a mod $p$ formula for the twisted Alexander polynomial of a knot in the $3$-sphere associated with the regular representation of a finite group. Secondly, we consider twisted Alexander polynomials of a knot for a series of central extensions of a finite group. Moreover, we apply these formulas for twisted Alexander polynomials to the study of twisted Alexander vanishing groups and orders for non-fibered knots.
