An extension gives you extra time to prepare your return -- it does not give you extra time to pay tax due. If you owe tax it must be paid by April 15.
You can file an extension to give yourself extra time to submit your tax return. An extension gives you until October 15, 2026, to file instead of the April 15, 2026 deadline.
To file an extension in TurboTax Online:
1. Go to the extension screen under My Info or select File an extension in the left menu.
2. Follow the instructions to e-file your extension.
Important: An extension does not give extra time to pay any taxes due. You should pay what you can by April 15 to avoid penalties.
Regardless of personal circumstances, filing an extension can help you avoid late filing penalties if you need more time to complete your return.
