How do i file an out of country extension? I am in Central America and do not have access to my W2 for another month.

You are allowed an automatic 2-month extension to file your return and pay federal income tax if you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, and on the regular due date of your return you are living outside the United States and Puerto Rico and your main place of business or post of duty is outside the United States and Puerto Rico

To use this automatic 2-month extension, you must attach a statement to your return explaining which of the two situations listed earlier qualified you for the extension.If you are not able to file your return by the due date, you generally can get an automatic 6-month extension of time to file (but not of time to pay). To get this automatic extension, you must file Form 4868.
