If you need to file a tax return and can not do so by the deadline (today) then you should request an extension.
It does not matter if you receive a refund or not. That is not relevant.
You have several options to request an extension:
1) Use Turbotax to request extension
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vu4agRok68.
2) Use IRS site to request extension
https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/extension-of-time-to-file-your-tax-return
3) Print the extension request form and mail it.

Due date is today. Postmark by today is okay.
If you owe money, estimate the amount and try to pay it with your request for extension.
