Get your taxes done using TurboTax

That is a really bad answer.  Read the thread above, for more information.

What you are suggesting is keeping two sets of books.  The question (OP) from me was referring to the Desktop version.

In the desktop case,  Turbo Tax leads you file a paper extension, which is also keeping two sets of books.

It is a pretty decent accounting practice to only have one set of records.  That is, not a separate paper record and electronic record of tax filing.  Just a single consistent set of financial records.

Seems simple to fix, but it has been dragging on for years.
