You can't e-file it through the desktop app, but you can e-file your extension through our Easy Extension website. An extension does not give you extra time to pay your taxes, which are due on April 15, 2026. Even if you can't pay your taxes by the deadline, file an extension anyway so you can avoid the late-filing penalty.
