Where is the 1040 form?

A 1040 is the tax return form you prepare here to send to the IRS. If you start entering data in this software you are preparing a Form 1040. Please look at it so you will know what you are sending to the IRS:

You need Form 4868, not 1040 to file extensions. 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.
