How do I file an extension?

You can do it from within TurboTax or can do it online.  Note that you have to estimate your taxes owed or refund (and pay any estimated taxes due). See the link below:

Please note, even though you file an extension, any taxes due should be paid by the due date to avoid any late filing penalties or interest.
