You have not asked a question.

An extension does not give you extra time to pay your estimated tax due—-which must be paid by April 15, 2026. An extension gives you extra time to prepare your tax return. You have until October 15 to e-file it.

Filing an extension will extend the time you have to file your taxes until October 15th, 2026. This prevents failure-to-file penalties, but still requires you to pay any tax liability due by the original deadline, April 15th.

Instructions:

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

In TurboTax Desktop, select Federal or Personal

Select Other Tax Situations

Scroll down to Other Tax Forms

Select Start next to File an extension

Note: you may have to file a state extension-

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.

Is there a more specific extension question you can share? If you can go into more detail, that will help us help you with meeting the deadline.
