How do I file a short extension (60-120 days)? TurboTax only allows me to file for a 6 month extension, or takes me to Easy Extension, which only has last year's info.

You can file a 6 month extension and still file your return tomorrow if you wanted to.  The only option available is a 6 month extension, however, it does not mean you need to take the full extension time.
