How do I file an extension using TurboTax Home and Business?

I can't find the Federal Taxes tab that it says to click on.  Consequently, I can't click on the the Other Tax Situations subtab nor scroll down to Other Tax Forms, nor select File An Extension!

Since you are using TurboTax Home & Business click the Personal tab and then the Other Tax Situations sub-tab. Scroll down to Other Tax Forms and select File An Extension.

I do not see FEDERAL TAXES selection on the menu bar:

 

Personal info, business, personal, state taxes, review, and file.

Thank you so much for posting the instructions on filing an extension in turbo tax. I called Turbo Tax and was on the phone for an HOUR and they had me chasing my tail with no extention. Thanks again.
