@cne5191 It is too late for you to ask for an extension for your 2020 tax return unless you live in TX and then you have until midnight tonight to MAIL an extension request to the IRS.    Everyone else had until May 17 to request an extension if needed; after that it is too late and you are just late.   If you are getting a refund there is no penalty for missing the deadline.  If you owe tax due and missed the filing deadline then you are subject to late filing penalties and interest on the tax owed.

If you need to mail an extension request to the IRS from TX:

Thank you! I don't know why they make it so hard to find.  Any other reference I found pointed to online filing, which then doesn't save any payment data in the file where you need it for ultimately filing (desktop version.)  Even using "Search" in the downloaded product, just points you to a discussion of using Turbotax Online to do it. 

I will only use a downloaded product -- will never (knowingly) allow my personal financial data to be uploaded to the cloud.
