Yes, you may file Form 4868 with no ITIN. 

 

According to the IRS:

“If you don’t have an ITIN, enter “ITIN TO BE REQUESTED” wherever an SSN is requested.”

 

If you are not able to print Form 4868 within the TurboTax program, 

HERE is a link to that form. 

 

Print, fill out, and mail Form 4868.
