We purchased the software, will we be able to file our taxes online using it?

Yes.  You will be able to e-file your federal and state tax returns using the CD/Download version of TurboTax.

However, you will not be able to e-file an extension form. 

You can print out Form 4868 and mail it in. To do this please follow these steps:

  1. Click Federal Taxes >  Other Tax Situations
  2. Under Other Tax Forms, click the Start/Update box next to File an Extension.
  3. On the next screen, mark the Yes radio button and click Continue.
  4. Continue through the screens until you reach the screen, Your Extension Results.  Click the Print Extension box.

 

You can also go to the TurboTax Easy Extension website to file your extension online:

  1. Go to:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/irs-tax-extensions/
  2. Click the File a Free Extension box. 

You will be asked to sign in with your TurboTax Online ID.  If you don't have one, click Create an Account at the bottom of the sign in screen.

If you have purchased the software you will need to use that to file. If you try to go Online, you will be charged again.

You will be able to efile your federal taxes for free.  You will be promoted to pay for your state tax.
