I am trying to e-file an extension using my TT account, and every time I am going there to start e-filing an extension, it says as below - Am I doing something wrong? Or this is not yet available?

If this e-file TT easy extension thing is not available based on the error I am getting then by what date it will be available to use?

Second question:

When e-filing an extension using TT, will TT allow me to pay taxes owed during extension e-filing process? If yes, then what "ALL" payment methods will TT accept during the payment of taxes owed during an e-filing of extension process, please let me know asap, thanks as I want to use ONLY TT for paying owed taxes using credit card instead of going to IRS website and paying from there. Thanks.

It looks this filing is not available

The form to request an extension for 2023 is not yet available. Check back in mid to late March. An extension does not give you extra time to pay. Estimated tax due has to be paid by April 15, 2024. An extension gives you extra time to prepare and file your Form 1040.

Thanks for your very prompt reply and helping me on educating on still paying the taxes if owed by April 15 2024 to avoid any penalty, and that is where my second question is -

You can pay your estimated tax by a variety of methods including by direct debit, using a credit card on the IRS site or by mailing a check or money order. Not sure what you have against using the IRS site.
