Yes, but it must be mailed as Turbo Tax only has that option.  I just finished mine.  Finish your taxes and figure out what you must pay...if you have to pay , to avoid the penalty, you then send your payment with the extension document , Form 4868, to the address on the form.  You will have to have an idea of what the final amount of payment or refund is so you do not get a penalty.  So, if you owe money, to avoid a penalty, send a check with the Application for Extension.  If you have a refund, then just send the document.   Must be done by 4/15/2025.  Hope this works...it was very confusing to me!!  Good luck.
