Hello there,

Yes, For this tax season, the TurboTax Easy Extension feature will be available to customers in late March. You'll be able to file an extension through TurboTax by following these steps:

1. Click on the Federal Taxes tab
2. Click on the Other Tax Situations sub-tab
3. Scroll down to Other Tax Forms section
4. Select File An Extension

The important thing to remember about extensions is that they only extend your time to file the return. If you owe money, then the IRS and states expect you to pay by the normal tax deadline -- there's no extension for paying. So if you're filing an extension and you believe you'll owe, then you'll want to mail a check to the IRS or state.

You can also download Form 4868 from the IRS website, print it and fill it out manually, and mail it by April 15. Complete instructions will be on your printout. **Link below to print form:

I hope this was helpful, thanks again for being apart of the TurboTax Family!

Please advise if you cannot view Form N-301 in the TurboTax Business Forms mode (icon at top right in blue bar). Look in the list of forms in the left column, and use the Open Forms button/Search window at the top of that column to find Hawaii Form N-301.

If you cannot resolve your issue by the due date of your return, the Hawaii Form N-301 is at this link, including the instructions for internet filing.

You may wish to file for an extension.  This will extend the time you have to file your taxes until October 15th, 2025. 

On the left rail menu in TurboTax Online Select Tax Tools (You may have to scroll down on the left rail menu.)
On the drop-down select Tools
On the Pop-Up menu titled “Tools Center,” select File an extension
Follow the instructions to start the extension process

Also, you may have to do your state taxes: Do I need to file an extension for my personal state taxes? 

Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it doesn't extend the time to pay your taxes.  If you have an indication that you will owe taxes, you should make the payment by the original due date of the tax return to avoid additional interest and penalties.
