Hello. I'm out of the country on holiday and I cannot file. I doubt I will owe any money. Do I need to do anything for auto 2month extension?

I will return mid May.

Here is a link with more information on how to file an extension through TurboTax.

If you are referring to the automatic two month extension, here is a link with more information regarding that:

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/u-s-citizens-and-resident-aliens-abroad-auto...

This is an excerpt from the above link:

You may be allowed an automatic 2-month extension of time to file your return and pay any federal income tax that is due. You will be allowed the extension if you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien and on the regular due date of your return:

  • You are living outside of the United States and Puerto Rico and your main place of business or post of duty is outside the United States and Puerto Rico, or
  • You are in military or naval service on duty outside the United States and Puerto Rico
