Trying to file an extension, but pressing on the "transmit my returns now" button is not doing anything

The deadline for e-filing a federal extension request was July 15.

so there is no way to file an extension now?

Nope.  It is now too late to file a extension. Just file your return as soon as possible.

I was able to e-file my extension around 4am this morning.. via “TaxAct” another service provider for Federal

California - doesn’t require to file a form, it’s an automatic extension till Oct. 15, 2020

however If taxes are owed, deadline to pay was July 15 for California, for Federal Oct. 15 but interest & penalty could apply

@mylaganda87  The deadline to pay federal is also July 15, 2020 for 2019 taxes.  The deadline to pay is not extended when you file an extension, only the deadline to file.

SusanY1 I think I mentioned about the payment deadlines in my post... but Thank you! 🙏🏼

@mylaganda87   You said the deadline to pay federal was Oct 15.  It was also July 15, 2020.

That's what I meant... if not paid (by July 15):  penalty & interest applies until paid fully
