I will not owe taxes, but must file by mail and cannot get to a printer in time.

There is no automatic 2 month extension to file when you are overseas.  It is not an extension that you file.  It is just that the IRS allows you 2 additional months to file until June 17th if you are living overseas on April 15th.

 

There is a box on Form 4868 Extension to file, for indicating that you are out of the country and a US citizen or resident.  But for the 2 month extension, you do not need to file the Form 4868.

 

When you do file your return by June 17th,  you need to attach a statement to your return explaining that you are eligible for the 2 month extension. 
 

In the search box at the top of the screen, type in extension, filing, additional and click on the Jump to link.  Click yes, you want to apply for an extension and answer the questions about preparing the 2 month extension statement.  As TurboTax states, this statement will be included with your return.
