Yes, but it must be mailed as Turbo Tax only has that option.  I just finished mine.  Finish your taxes and figure out what you must pay...if you have to pay , to avoid the penalty, you then send your payment with the extension document , Form 4868, to the address on the form.  You will have to have an idea of what the final amount of payment or refund is so you do not get a penalty.  So, if you owe money, to avoid a penalty, send a check with the Application for Extension.  If you have a refund, then just send the document.   Must be done by 4/15/2025.  Hope this works...it was very confusing to me!!  Good luck.

Do you have a qualified person you are claiming as a dependent?  If not you cannot have Head of Household filing status.   See this TurboTax support FAQ for head of household when you are married - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/taxation/married-person-claim-head-household-filing-status/L078u1RSW_US_en_US?uid=m9hosz76   To change your filing status you will need to click on My Info on the left side of the online program screen, then edit your personal information.

Your explanation makes sense. I just want to re-iterate my concern, to make sure I understand... I'm not sure if I'm implying that the 1099-K is wrong. For instance, I have a 1099-NEC from a client that paid me $1,200 via CC, this payment was made through my merchant account at Stripe. I also received a 1099-K from Stripe that includes all of my transactions (income) for the year .... The dollar amount on this 1099-K  includes this payment from this customer... So if I add both forms as income I'm paying twice for this particular 1099-NEC. Should this client not have sent me a 1099-NEC, is that the real problem?

@8812  If you think you are getting the wrong taxable amount of Social Security……  If you are looking at a summary screen or review screen those show the full amount as income and lump a lot of stuff together. You need to check the actual 1040.   And There is a new question this year asking if you lived in a foreign place.  People have been answering it wrong or skipping it.  Go back through the Social Security entries.   To see the Social Security Benefits Calculation Worksheet  in Turbo Tax Online version you would have to save your return with all the worksheets to your computer.   Or if you are using the Desktop CD/Download Software you can switch to Forms Mode (click Forms in the upper right) and click on SS in the list on the left side.

IRS Publication 502, page 17, states:   How Do You Treat Reimbursements?    You can include in medical expenses only those amounts paid during the tax year for which you received no insurance or other reimbursement.   In TurboTax Premium Online, the reimbursement may be reported at the screen Tell us about any medical reimbursements.  Access the screen under Deductions & Credits and Medical Expenses.
