If I file my tax extension (Form 4868) with one program, do I have to file my taxes with the same program?

I'm trying to file an extension (4868) for my partner and I, but I'm using Turbo Tax's Free File Program and it says that "Easy Extension is not supported in IRS Free File Program powered by TurboTax."

 

My question is, can I file my extension (4868) with the standard Turbo Tax and then go back and file my taxes on "IRS Free File Program powered by TurboTax"? Or just in general, if I file an extension on one program, do I have to use the SAME program to file my taxes later on?

 

The fact that TurboTax has two different programs is confusing.
