Yes, that's okay. If your wages are on a W-2 and you normally get money back, then you won't need to make a payment. TurboTax will show you an entry box for "total taxes owed" and another for "total you've already paid." Just put the same figure in both ($500 is fine). Since both boxes are the same, TurboTax will tell you that you don't need to make a payment and you can continue.

If you normally owe, then you can put a smaller amount in the "taxes paid" box and make a payment of your choosing.

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 thru TurboTax by following these steps:

Click on the Federal Taxes tab
Click on the Other Tax Situations subtab
Scroll down to Other Tax Forms
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.

On the other hand, If you normally receive a refund, and you don't anticipate any change, then you don't need to send payment.

In regard to your state return: Some states will piggyback off the federal extension, so there's no additional state form to file. Other states require you to submit their own extension forms. TurboTax will walk you thru the state extension as well as the federal process to ensure you follow the requirements of your state.

If you're curious about your particular state, here's a list of extension requirements by state: https://www.irs.com/articles/state-tax-extension-information

It does not address the issue of E-Filing an extension! It is not available in all program versions! And, to have to go online & put very sensitive data is not a good option! Come up with a better way! Nothing is Hack -Proof! A.S.

After finishing the guided tour, TurboTax desktop only offers Print to Mail to IRS. No e-File unfortunately. Significant disappointment. Had to go to myTurboTax, login, start online TurboTax, go to Federal, Other Tax Situations, Other Tax Forms, Start for File an Extension. Using personal info from last year and 2016 W-2 Income Taxes Paid, Refund Expected; was able to get to File an Extension. You will be asked to accept automatic withdrawal agreement (even for refund), and need to use IRS 5 digit PINs to sign extension. Then get an immediate confirmation email from TurboTax. Then done until Oct 16.

Actually you may not need to file the 4868 if you make a payment using one of the IRS's electronic payment options. The e-pay system automatically files the 4868. You can even pay ny phone. if you don't owe the you must file the 4868. e-file is best but there is nothing wrong in using snail mail as long as the postmark was 4/18/2017 or earlier this year
