Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you file an extension, you have six months to complete your tax return. There will be penalties and interests if you owe. The extension is to file your return, but the payment is due now. You need to estimate what you would owe when filing an extension.
To file Form 4868 to request an extension on time to file your tax return, select your situation:
- TurboTax Online: follow these instructions to e-file your extension.
- TurboTax CD/Download software: follow these instructions to print Form 4868.
Keep in mind: An extension doesn't give you extra time to pay your taxes, but it'll keep you from getting a late filing penalty. (You'll still owe interest if you pay after the deadline.)
