Cannot do federal extension due to technique issue

Hello,

 

After I paid the turbotax live premium money, I cannot continue the federal extension.

After the lowest price page, the following page keeps loading and cannot continue. I tried hundreds times but failed. Please help me to fix this issue as soon as possible. Thanks!

It depends on what program you are using. See your options here: How do I file an IRS tax extension? - TurboTax Support - Intuit

 

 This will extend the time you have to file your taxes until October 15th, 2025.  

 

Also, you may have to do your state taxes: Do I need to file an extension for my personal state taxes?  

 

Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it doesn't extend the time to pay your taxes.  If you have an indication that you will owe taxes, you should make the payment by the original due date of the tax return to avoid additional interest and penalties.
