How do electronically file an extension for 2024 federal return?

It seems to me that purchasing Turbo Tax Deluxe would give me a way to file and extension electronically. But when I called customer service they gave me a link to create a new account with another company called IRS extensions online and needed to pay an additional fee of $29.95. I will be looking at purchasing different tax software for the future. Very disappointing!!!

    In TurboTax Online, file an extension by following these steps:

     

    • View the entries down the left side of the screen at Tax Tools.
    • Select Tools.
    • Select File an extension.

    In addition, Free Federal tax extension is available here.

     

    Extension for personal state income taxes here.

     

    An extension does not give you more time to pay, it is only an extension of time to file.
