How to e-File Fed Extension using TT - Home & business - CD version?

[TurboUser4]

I am using TT - Home & Biz on my computer and need to file extension for 2016 Fed Return.  The software is allowing me to create extension form 4468 and then asking me to mail the copy.  I want to e-file instead of sending by post.

Is there anyway  (using my cd-version software) I can e-file extension?  

I can e-file going online at https://turbotax.intuit.com/irs-tax-extensions but then I have to reenter all information.    Is there any easier way to submit the Form 4468 (generated by TT) online ?

Thanks

I wish I had better news for you on your question.  Easy extension is the way to go if you want to e-file it (link provided in answer).  Otherwise, print and mail from your desktop software.

I cant seem to find out how to get to the 4468 form in my TT H&B?  It does not show up in my list of forms and the only thing I see when I search for 4468 is this help answer?

Will the e-filed extension be associated with my return after I e-file it?

No, unfortunately e-filing for extensions is not available using TurboTax Desktop.   Information on e-filing extensions and a link to do so is provided here. Need-More-Tax-Time--File-a-Tax-Extension

Thank you for the answer but I strongly recommend this feature be added.  We paid a lot of money to download Turbo Tax Desktop and I expected to be able to file all forms electronically.

I agree with this comment.  I am extremely disappointed that Turbo Tax does not support e-file of an extension from their desktop product (that is paid for), but rather requires information be re-entered online to complete this process.  This is extremely not user friendly.

Same problem, I have Deluxe and could only efile extension thru online Easy Extension. It was accepted but is PDF format which will not mesh with my desktop deluxe software. My desktop deluxe turbotax thinks no extension has been filed. Is it going to keep warning me and then add estimated payments or penalties when I do file my return?

It's been years now. Please add this feature!

Agreed.. First time filing for an extension and disappointed that turbo tax desktop version does not allow you to e-file.

Also running into this same problem. First time needing to file for an extension and disappointed that TurboTax Premier (desktop version) doesn't allow an e-file

If you owe taxes you can make a payment online and the extension is automatically filed for you on the irs.gov site.
