Thank you for the right answer.  This works!   I went to "Tools" and then "Topics List".   And more the 3/4 of the way down I found "Other Tax Situations"!  Thank you!

Extensions form your computer must be printed and mailed.

Use the online "Easy Extension".

Does this solution apply to state tax programs?  If so, are there exceptions?

Many states automatically extend if you extend the Federal return.  What is your state?

Only correct one in this forum. I found out the hard way that this cannot be filed electronically with Turbo Tax.

Last time I'll buy their program.

You can file an extension through TurboTax, see here.     @jimeaster22

You can also get an extension by paying all or part of your estimated income tax due and indicate that the payment is for an extension using Direct Pay, the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS), or a credit or debit card. This way you won’t have to file a separate extension form and you will receive a confirmation number for your records.

In TurboTax Online, you can search for extend and use the Jump to extend link to e-file your extension.
