When IRS allows 7004 to be filed electronically, no where it is explained why TurboTax does not allow 7004 eFile.

No. This form cannot be e-filed. 

However, it may be prepared in TurboTax Business and mailed in, or you may print from the IRS website here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f7004.pdf

Instructions for Form 7004 are found here:  https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i7004.pdf

 

Please see TurboTax FAQ "How do I file an extension for a corporation, partnership, trust, or estate (Form 7004)?" below for more information:

No. Form 7004 cannot be e-filed with TurboTax Business @allen67.

No, you cannot e-file your For 4868 through TurboTax either.  However, you can use the IRS Free File service online at Free File Fillable Forms to file your Application for Automatic Extension of Time.

The biggest glaring question is WHY NOT?  I pay all this money for turbotax software, and yet I have to go to another vendor in order to efile my extensions?  Makes no sense.  The ability to efile extensions exists, so why hasn't Turbotax adopted a way for us to do so?
