You do not need to enter a confirmation number.  You simply keep it for your records.

I appreciate your very quick response.  Just so you know where I was coming from:🤔

The chat bot in turbotax said-

Open TurboTax: Start your TurboTax application.

Navigate to Extensions:  Look for the section related to filing extensions.

Enter Confirmation Number: There should be an option to input you IRS extension confirmation number
