Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It seems IRS wants the election statement attached to Form 4868.

This is a form that has to be filed before April 15 to be effective.

As Spock would say, it is illogical to file a request for extension of time after you have already e-Filed.

BUT, in some cases, it may be advantageous to do so.
