How do I download my federal tax extension?

If you need more time, you can file for an extension with TurboTax.

  • Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it does NOT extend the time to pay your taxes.
  •  If you have an indication that you will owe taxes, you should make the payment to avoid additional interest and penalties

This will give you until 15 October 2025 to file your taxes.

If you owe taxes, you must pay by April 15th.

 

To file for extension in the TurboTax program

  1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
  2. Select Tax Tools
  3. On the drop-down select Tools
  4. There will be 4 green boxes
  5. Select Tax Topics
  6. Type Extension
  7. You can start the extension process

You can print your extension form.

 

  1. Sign in to TurboTax 
  2. Select Tax Tools,
  3. then Print Center
  4. Select Print, save or preview this year's return.
  5. You will have to pay for TurboTax if you haven't done so already.
  6. Follow the directions to print your 2023 Federal returns, including government worksheets.
