Hi @audicof
I apologize for not directly answering your question and for the IRS instructions. I was providing additional information and resources.
To answer your question directly, no, you do not have to proceed to file a return because you filed an extension. There is a possibility the IRS may send a notice looking for the return based on the fact they receive an extension. You can either file a return with no income/expense information or you can wait to see if a notice arrives then simply reply that you filed the extension to be safe but as it turned out, the return was not required to be filed.
Thank you again for reaching out to the TurboTax Community
