Unlike IRS Form 4868, which applies to all taxpayers throughout the country, you must file the correct state-specific form to obtain the extension. TurboTax also offers TurboTax Easy Extension, an online tool that allows you to file extensions for both your federal and state tax returns,  This TurboTax link https://How to File for an Extension of State Taxes has information to assist you in filing an extension to file for your state tax return.

usually, a state extension only gives you more time to file your return. Not more time to pay any taxes owed. They are usually due on the original due date.  failure to pay timely would result in late payment penalties and interest.
