YES!! I have the same beef with Intuit. The whole point of buying the desktop version is that I don't want my tax paperwork online. I want to maintain it all in one place and one place only - my computer. The Intuit software allows me to actually file my taxes using this method - my computer - but it doesn't allow me to file for extension using my computer. The only options are to use the online software (as mentioned - then there are two separate sets of books), or via snail mail (archaic).
Even the IRS form itself shows three options for filing an extension - one of them being "E-File using your Tax Software". Well - except TurboTax desktop simply does not support that.
A glaring hole in the software.
