The "Federal Taxes" Tab is at the top of your screen after you open your Tax Return.

Follow these steps to file an extension in TurboTax Desktop:

  • Open your return
  • Click the "Federal Taxes" Tab
  • Click the "Other Tax Situations" Tab
  • Scroll down and click "Start" next to "File an Extension"
  • From here, TurboTax will walk you through the process of Extending your return

If you are using the TurboTax online editions - Click on Federal on the left side column of the online program screen.

If you are using the TurboTax CD/Download Home & Business edition - Click on Personal
