How can I ask to file for an extension? What do I need to complete to file an extension?

Yes. After starting the return hit the "Federal Taxes" tab at the top then the "Other Tax Situations" below it. File an Extension will be one of the options. Remember, an extension is for time to file, not pay. You can make payments here.

• How do I file an IRS extension (Form 4868) in TurboTax Online?
• Do I need to file an extension for my personal state taxes?

An extension gives you extra time to prepare your Form 1040 and file it, but you need to pay your estimated tax due by April 15, 2025.   The extension gives you until October 15, 2025 to file.

If you go to the IRS make a payment page ( link above) and select EXTENSION.

You will get immediate confirmation.

Any amount will do, but is supposed to be at  least 90% what you will owe on April 15th.
