How do I file an extension on my federal taxes?

Where does it show me on the TurboTax e-filing where I can file an extension for the federal taxes?

It is too soon to request an extension for your 2024 tax return via TurboTax. The form is usually available in March. But if you want to print one and mail it, here is a link to the IRS Form:

An extension does not give you extra time to pay tax due. It gives you extra time to prepare your Form 1040. Estimated 2024 tax due has to be paid by April 15, 2025.
