Yes, to file an extension for 2024. If you are using a desktop version of TurboTax you can file an extension for your tax return using the instructions in this link: How do I file an IRS tax extension? 

If you   used TurboTax Online, to apply for an extension in your TurboTax program, you can do the following:

1. Click on the search icon in the upper right of your TurboTax screen
2. Type "extend" in your search box
3. Click on the link "Jump to extend"
4. Your screen will say "Applying for an Extension"
5. Answer "Yes" to the question "program,"
6. Select "Continue"
7. Follow the TurboTax screens and answer all of the follow-up questions

You can click this link federal tax extension to start an extension.

Is there another way to get to this? I've seen this advice in several places, but clicking "Search" brings up a "Digital Assistant", not a search box. It doesn't look anything like your screenshot. I typed "extend" and it just gave me some general information on extensions. When I type it again it just says "Sorry I'm not being helpful".

@je771 You can get an automatic extension from the IRS if you make an extension payment on the IRS website for Direct Pay on or before the due date of the federal tax return - https://directpay.irs.gov/directpay/payment?execution=e1s1

Or use the TurboTax website to e-file an extension request - https://turbotax.intuit.com/irs-tax-extensions/
