You need Form 4868, not 1040 to file extensions.   You can e-file your extension through our Easy Extension website.   An extension does not give you extra time to pay your taxes, which are due on April 15, 2026.  Even if you can't pay your taxes by the deadline, file an extension anyway so you can avoid the late-filing penalty.   How do I file an IRS tax extension?   See all options for filing an extension here.   State Extensions

If you used TurboTax Online, Sign In and scroll down to 'Tax Returns and Docs' where you'll see the status of your 2024 return.  If you did file, as Married Filing Jointly, you and your spouse's AGI will be the same number.   If you didn't file 2024, you can use $0 or choose 'didn't file last year'.    @rylenn2015
