You will find this option in Turbo Tax. 

Federal Taxes/ Other tax forms / File an extension

Click Start,  and TT will walk you through it. If you think you will owe taxes, you will have to send an estimated amount, ot else there will be a penalty. If you don't think you will owe anything, then, just file the extension.

To file Form 4868 to request an extension on time to file your tax return, select your situation:

Keep in mind: An extension doesn't give you extra time to pay your taxes, but it'll keep you from getting a late filing penalty. (You'll still owe interest if you pay after the deadline.)
