I received it multiple times today. Couldn't figure it out, so I just mailed the extension

Mailing extensions is risky unless you send it in a way that can be tracked.    @Fishdog89

 

If you owe tax, you can make a payment today at the IRS website and it will count as filing an extension - see Get an extension when you make a payment.

I actually figured it out. My AGI from 2019 did not match up with what the IRS had. It took a 2 hour call with turbotax (who was not very helpful) to figure it out.
