You can either file an extension or file your return as it is and then amend it later to include the missing information.  

 

Filing an extension only gives you extra time to file.  If you owe taxes or expect to owe taxes after including the missing information, then you are expected to pay the balance due at the time you file the extension.

 

Take a look at the following TurboTax article for more information and instructions:
