Is there a way to e-file an extension to October 15 on TurboTax if you live in Texas and were granted an automatic extension to June 15 to file 2020 Form 1040?

Can I e-file an extension now?  In Texas we received an automatic extension from April 15 to June 15 because of the winter storm here.  I can't find how to e-file my extension on TurboTax.  Does anyone know?

Online extensions have been shut down.    The only way to file an extension now is on paper and mail it (postmarked before June 15 midnight - best to mail certified so you have proof of mailing.)

Note: if you are due a refund then there is no penalty for filing late.
