You can file an extension for free under the TurboTax free product and if you select not to pay any taxes it will charge you $0. Filing an extension under "Free Edition" does not necessarily mean that when you complete your taxes you will still be using the "Free" version.
Each version of TurboTax is designed to handle different tax situations and their associated forms. Your tax situation may end up being more complex and may require you to upgrade to a different version of TurboTax.
The payment info will be stored on your account. When you file your 2018 taxes using TurboTax, any stored payment info can be used to pay for the TurboTax software you end up using at that time.
