Want to file extension online. don't owe. TT says use "tt easy extension". avail march 20. Today is March 22, it is not functional. If delayed, it does not say that

how can one find when TT will make this available, the forum says 16th, TT says 20th. it is neither.

Extensions are now available on TurboTax. Follow these steps:

• Sign into TurboTax and click the orange Take me to my return button
• In the Search box (upper right) search "extension"
• Click "jump to extension" and this takes you to the Need More Time to File Your Return? screen. 

Or you can use these steps:

• Sign into TurboTax and click the orange Take me to my return button
• Select the Federal Taxes tab and then Other Tax Situations (sub tab)
• Scroll down to Other Tax Forms
• Click Start/Revisit next to File an Extension

this answer is not helpful. it ignores the root of my question (e-filing the extension) and simply repeats what is easily accessible on TT. As many others have noted, TT says they will allow us to file extension online, yet the easy extension site says "avail in March" and it is March. Their link to it says March 20.if it will still be available, but simply delayed, they have not said that either.
