Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You can try this link.    The only reason I can think of why you do not have the link in the left menu is that you are using the IRS affiliate program - Free File.     If you are using Free File (not Free Edition) - you can create a TurboTax Free Edition account to file the extension, although that is probably more work than necessary.   Otherwise, sign in to your Free File account and search for 4868 or extension.

Free Edition is not the same as Free File

 

You can also get an extension by paying all or part of your estimated income tax due and indicate that the payment is for an extension using Direct Pay, the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS), or a credit or debit card. This way you won’t have to file a separate extension form and you will receive a confirmation number for your records.
