Sorry, but no you can't. With an extension your return is due by Oct 15th. If you file after that date then:

- If you owe the IRS taxes you will be assessed interest, fines and penalties.

- If you will have a refund due, then no interest, fines and penalties are assessed for anything.

So if you filed your extension prior to Apr 15th and overpaid any estimated dates due on or before that date, you'll be fine.

No more extensions.

Your extension gave you extra time to prepare your 2018 tax return documents. It did not give you extra time to pay. If you did not pay your estimated 2018 tax due by April 15, 2019 then when the IRS receives your 2018 return and your payment, they will calculate your penalty/interest and bill you later. TurboTax will not calculate the penalty or interest.

You have until October 15, 2019 to e-file your 2018 tax return. After that, e-filing for 2018 will be shutting down, and a 2018 return will have to be printed, signed and mailed instead. The online software will also be shutting down, so if you are not finished preparing your 2018 return by then, you will have to download desktop software to a full PC or Mac to finish the return.

When you requested your extension you were supposed to pay your estimated tax due. Did you enter the payment you made into your tax return? Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes This will show up on line 17 of your Form 1040
