I want to file an extension now - and TT (after paying) will not let me file - saying time as passed? It's 3/9? What's up?

Actually the online extension filing is not yet available. Not sure when it will be available but it will be closer to the April 15 filing deadline. Here is an article with an explanation and a way to download the written request if you want to use it: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/tax-extensions/filing-an-income-tax-extension/L5GIzgJaS
