I filed an easy extension but it only did it for my husband and not us jointly

We file jointly and i usually file an extension and it goes for both of us.  I clicked on filing the easy extension and filled in all of the taxes we've already paid (jointly) and the form that printed out was just for my husband..  Now Turbotax won't let me go back in and fill one out for myself as well.

You only file one extension for a joint return.  It will only have one name on it - the first name listed on the tax joint return.

is there a way to check that the tax filing extension has been applied to both though only one name appears in form 4868 filed using Turbotax easy extension. Thanks.
