Where is the form for an extension? I followed their video but the software is not not doing what they said it would?

Their video said to do a search for the word extend.. and then a file would pop up. I searched for the word extend, and I searched for extension. And all it is is people talking about things unrelated to extensions.

Form 4868.   Use the link(s) below to file your extension.   The first one has different instructions depending on what platform you are using.  An extension gives you until October 15, 2025 to file your taxes instead of the tax deadline of April 15, 2025. You must file an extension by April 15, 2025 to get extra time to file your taxes without a penalty. There's no further extension past October 15, 2025.

An extension does not give you extra time to pay your taxes, which are due on April 15, 2025. Even if you can't pay your taxes by the deadline, file an extension anyway so you can avoid the late-filing penalty.
