I am due for a refund this year. While trying an extension in the software itself, I get the screen for Expected Refund Amount. I am not sure about the refund amount so what do I enter here for extension. Thanks!

If you have a refund coming from the IRS, then there's no penalty for failing to file your tax return by the deadline, even if you don't ask for an extension. Not sure you can estimate your refund but if you want to file an extension you would have to give a guess on your refund.
