No. You have until mid-October to file your 2018 tax return. After that, you have to print, sign and mail it to the IRS.
As Carl said, e-filing will be open until October 15, 2019 for you r2018 return. If you are getting a tax refund there is no penalty for missing the April 15 filing deadline. If you owe tax due, your penalty/interest has begun to add up, so get it filed as soon as you can; expect a bill from the IRS for the penalty/interest. TurboTax will not calculate that.
Your comment above is blank, and I don't know why. But based on the title of this thread, I assume the same topic is the subject of your inquiry. If so, here's some info:
Online TurboTax can only prepare a 2019 return at this point in time. If you need to prepare a 2018 return, you'll need to use 2018 desktop software (CD/download).
You can purchase 2018 desktop software as a download at this page and install it on your computer:

Or did you already start a 2018 return online prior to the 2018 online shutdown, and want to finish that one without starting over? If so, you can download the *.tax2018 data file from your account and finish it in the desktop software. If you already paid for your product previously, TurboTax Support should furnish you the software.
The 2018 return cannot be efiled. It will need to be printed, signed, dated, and mailed. It is recommended to mail by a method that has tracking such as certified return receipt, priority mail, etc.
If you have both Federal and state returns, you need to mail each one separately to its respective tax agency.
If you are due a Federal refund, it takes about 6 weeks for the IRS to process a mailed return.
