TurboLive/?: does it include everything that Self-emp offers? I file extension in April & complete my taxes before the Oct deadline, will access still be available then?

When I work on my taxes in the summer, will there be someone still to answer my questions if I use Turbotax Live?

This question is for Turbotax rather than the community I would think, but since I'm overseas I had no other way to reach out directly to turbotax--they should fix that issue.
This feature is pending. Thanks for your patience.
