Extension required as spouse ITIN to be requested

I got IRS appointment for ITIN of my spouse only on 25th April. Therefore, I would have to file an extension. However, TurboTax web based Easy Extension does not allow to file an extension without spouse's ITIN/SSN (in case of joint filing). As per Form 4868 insttructions, if ITIN is not available then “ITIN TO BE REQUESTED” to be entered in place of SSN/ITIN.
Why doesn't TurboTax follow the instructions of IRS. Please let me know how can I submit the extension request?
