You can't e-file the extension, I think. If you want to file on time by May 1, just e-file. Turbotax may think it is late, but you can ignore that. The IRS should know you qualify based on your zip code. There should also be a function in Turbotax where it asks if you are affected by any disasters or other situations that change the deadlines, although I don't know where that function is.
If you need the extension, and it is too late to e-file, you fill out and mail in the form 4868. The IRS should get the disaster extension based on the zip code, but you can write "Hurricane Milton IRS notice FL-2024-10" on the form if you want.
If Turbotax tries to calculate a late filing or late payment penalty, I would refuse, don;t include a penalty calculation with your return (I think you can do that). Wait and see if the IRS actually bills you.
