I'd like to switch to TurboTax for 2016. My taxes were done by a pro for 2015. I want to get a 2016 filing extension and do a Roth IRA contribution before 10/15/2017.

How do I sign up for TurboTax and make sure I have a 2016 filing extension? Then I have until 10/15/2017 to make a Roth contribution, right? I think I'll qualify for the full amount.

The IRS contribution deadline for a 2016 contribution is 4/18/17.
