Unable to file for extension using Turbotax

I'm following the instructions provided by Turbotax to file for extension:

 

https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/file-irs-extension-form-4868-turbotax-online/L2rDBZJtx_US_en_US

 

After pressing "Jump to extend" I get the following error message:

 

"It looks this filing is not available

We are currently not accepting filings of this type."

The Extension form (4868) will not be available until sometime in March.

Thanks. That information is much better than the error message being shown.

Turbotax should change the error message.

I still see the same error while filing an extension. Has anyone been able to do this yet?

@sourabhguha Check back in mid to late march for the form to request an extension for 2023--it is not available yet.
