Hello @tmcn2! It sounds like you need to file an extension in TurboTax Online. IRS extensions for tax year 2019 must be filed on or before July 15, 2020 for domestic taxpayers. (At this time, we're still awaiting guidance for U.S. citizens or resident aliens who will be out of the country on July 15.)It isn't possible to file a post-deadline extension. Keep in mind: An extension doesn't give you extra time to pay your taxes — but it will keep you from getting a late filing penalty. (You'll still owe interest if you pay after the deadline).Open your return in TurboTax Online. (To do this, sign in to TurboTax and select Pick up where you left off).Select File an extension at the bottom of the column on the left side of the screen.If you don't see the File an extension button in Step 2 above, search for extend in the upper right and select the Jump to link at the top of your search results.Follow the onscreen instructions to e-file your extension.I also recommend reviewing this our resource on this subject:How do I file an IRS extension (Form 4868) in TurboTax Online?

Hello @tmcn2!

It sounds like you need to file an extension in TurboTax Online.

IRS extensions for tax year 2019 must be filed on or before July 15, 2020 for domestic taxpayers. (At this time, we're still awaiting guidance for U.S. citizens or resident aliens who will be out of the country on July 15.)

It isn't possible to file a post-deadline extension.

Keep in mind: An extension doesn't give you extra time to pay your taxes — but it will keep you from getting a late filing penalty. (You'll still owe interest if you pay after the deadline).

Open your return in TurboTax Online. (To do this, sign in to TurboTax and select Pick up where you left off).
Select File an extension at the bottom of the column on the left side of the screen.
- If you don't see the File an extension button in Step 2 above, search for extend in the upper right and select the Jump to link at the top of your search results.
Follow the onscreen instructions to e-file your extension.
