Even e-filing may be an option as late as November, closer to Thanksgiving.
I could be wrong, but I think TurboTax stops e-filing in mid-October, despite the fact the IRS e-file system is open until around Thanksgiving-ish.
If you are determined to avoid the offset, you have up to three years to file and get a refund. Tax professionals (and possibly other DIY software, but I'm not certain) can e-file until Thanksgiving-ish and for the next two years, but not TurboTax. But you could also paper-file the return.
