To confirm, the form is available to file via paper on TurboTax Desktop but I was hoping to e-file through TurboTax Easy Extension and pay while filing for an extension. You are saying that the e-file through TurboTax would be available mid to late March?</P> Sat, 02 Mar 2024 18:11:05 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-can-i-e-file-my-federal-tax-extension-even-if-i-purchased-plan-to-file-my-taxes-using-turbotax/01/3232656#M1188617 kyungminkellykim 2024-03-02T18:11:05Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-can-i-e-file-my-federal-tax-extension-even-if-i-purchased-plan-to-file-my-taxes-using-turbotax/01/3232664#M1188620 <P>Yes----the easy extension that you can e-file becomes available later in March.&nbsp; We do not know an exact date.</P> Sat, 02 Mar 2024 18:12:57 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-can-i-e-file-my-federal-tax-extension-even-if-i-purchased-plan-to-file-my-taxes-using-turbotax/01/3232664#M1188620 xmasbaby0 2024-03-02T18:12:57Z
