You can file your extension at our Easy Extension website.   An extension gives you until October 15, 2025 to file your taxes instead of the tax deadline of April 15, 2025. You must file an extension by April 15, 2025 to get extra time to file your taxes without a penalty. There's no further extension past October 15, 2025. An extension does not give you extra time to pay your taxes, which are due on April 15, 2025. 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?   How do I file an extension for my personal state taxes?

If you are E1-E9, it shouldn't charge you, as long as you meet the criteria below and haven't used LIVE or any other add-ons.   Here's how one would normally get the military discount.  Commonly military filers miss the Step 3 shown below.   To get the military discount you must do all of these: 1)  In the Personal Info (My Info) section, indicate you were in armed forces, then indicate "active duty", answer question about pay grade, and the rest of the military questions there. 2)  Enter a W-2 from DFAS 3)  On a screen after W-2, you will ultimately see a screen that ask something like "Let's check for uncommon situations" or "Does your W-2 have any of these uncommon situations?"  or words to that effect.  It shows maybe 10-11 things with check boxes.   Be sure to again indicate there that you are "active duty military."   I don't know why it asks twice, but it must be checked again there. 4)   If it still tries to charge you, we can tell you how to get help from TurboTax Customer Support.     It's much harder to resolve if you have already paid.

Actually, I think that change I made (by logging the 1099-k sale as other income and then again as negative income) created an entry in 8z of schedule 1, which is why my return is now including a Schedule 1.  So anyone missing a schedule 1 can use this workaround.   Under other misc income: add new line item for Form 1099-K Personal Item Sold at a Loss with the value add a second line entry with the same label but negative value  they will net out on Schedule 1, and the top of your Schedule 1 form will show the correct value.
