So, I have to enter all my info. again on the online app. Why can't you carry over the info. when I log in to TT or allow filing on the desktop software??


No, you do not have to start tax return on the online app.  Just enter your personal information and the amount that you want to pay.

Or just use the desktop extension to print and mail the Form 4868.

Or go to this IRS payment website and select to pay an amount with the extension.  That automatically gives you the IRS extension - https://www.irs.gov/payments

 

Between January 1st and the original due date of your return, visit the main Direct Pay page and select the “Make a Payment” button. On the page that follows,

  • Select "Extension” as your “Reason for Payment.” (The "Apply Payment to..." field will then start with "4868," the IRS number for the extension request form) 
  • Verify your identity and make a payment

If you complete this process successfully, your payment will be credited towards the tax year for which you are requesting a filing extension, and you will automatically receive the extension. You will not need to file a separate Form 4868, Extension of Time to File Your Tax Return. You can verify your extension by logging into your account
