Refer to the TurboTax Help article How do I file an IRS tax extension?.  If you need to file a state extension, review the article How do I file an extension for my personal state taxes?

 

The extension gives you until October 15, 2025 to file your taxes without getting a failure to file penalty.  You don't get extra time to pay your taxes so you must pay any taxes that you may have that are due by April 15, 2025 so you won't be assessed the failure to pay penalty.

Hello
This information is absolutely useless.
When I tried to follow desktop instruction
"TurboTax Desktop
Open or continue your return.
Search for extend and select the Jump to link.
Answer Yes on the Applying for an Extension screen and then select Continue.
Follow the instructions to prepare, print, and mail your 4868 form"
It does NOT generate for me any link.
It just redirected me to same instruction.
Sincerely,

The link that SharonD007 shared tells you, You can file your extension at our Easy Extension website, or select your situation for detailed steps. If you do an extension through the desktop software you will need to print and mail.
