You can use this link to file for extension. 

 

Or

 

Open TurboTax.
Continue to your return.
Select Search, enter     extend    , and select Jump to extend.
Answer Yes on the Applying for an Extension screen and then select Continue.
Follow the instructions to prepare, print, and mail your 4868 form.

I clicked on search in the application I have on my PC (Not on line).  Turbotax help appeared.  I never saw jump to extend.  Unrelated issues appeared.
