On what date will the online tool for filing a federal extension be available ?

https://turbotax.intuit.com/irs-tax-extensions/ says "Available in March". Is there a more specific date on which this will be available ? Thanks.

There isn't a specific date available yet - but last year it was opened on March 18th, which was 30 days before the filing deadline last year.  The filing deadline is also April 18th this year.  I would expect it to be around that time again this year maybe give or take a week or so.
