How to E-file (NOT paper file !) Federal extension using Turbotax Deluxe Windows ?

For the life of me, I can't find where in Turbotax deluxe (Windows) to e-file for extension. It only allows me to print out my extension. I can not physical mail.  I can only e-file.

I don't think you can efile an extension using TurboTax desktop. You can try their Easy Extension Website  but I've never used it so can't vouch for how well it works.

Thank you for the confirmation.

 

It really doesn't make sense that I can print out the extension and can not efile extension from Turbotax.  Turbotax already has all my information.  It can easily add a button to say E-file next to the Print Button.  Come On Turbotax.  Let's get this into the next version!!
