how do I e-file 4686 extension using the desktop version of TurboTax

at some point I found a place to enter that I want to file an extension to June 15. Now I can't figure out where that was, how to get back there, how to actually file the extension. The "help" info I've found has been useless.

You can e-file an extension here by April 15, 2026 and have until October 15, 2026 to finish your taxes.

This service will only be available from March.

The form to request an extension online is not yet available. That comes out sometime in March. If you want to mail the form instead of submitting it online you can print one out and mail it in.
