I am only able to print and mail in an extension. The only way I can efile an extension is to use the Free Online Version of Turbo Tax. HELP!

You will be able to e-file a Form 4868 for an extension on this TurboTax website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/irs-tax-extensions/

So that's Really Pathetic. So, I've been using Turbotax Desktop for over 25 years, mostly the Premier version, paying good money for the software, and extra for some services, & now I can't file one lousy form 4868 for an extension electronically FROM my PURCHASED Desktop Software. I've done it in the past with no problems.
Why does Turbotax seem to make using their software, even for long term customers, more aggravating over the last few years? And then they don't educate their customer service people about the changes. Customers, willing to pay good money for good services, shouldn't have to go through these shortsighted changes each year!

I agree that this is some BS. Now I have to refill in all the data I already filled into my Premier version. It isn't so Premier if I have to do it twice. I think I am done with turbo tax. It also won't let me auto-download all my stock info - which is why I am having to file for the extension.

Problem withe the Turbotax online website to file extension is that you have to fillin your social security number

and date of birth. That information can leak via the turbotax website.

If it leaks all they will say is sorry and give you some coupon to monitor your credit.

Now you might sday that turbo tax has a online tax preparation softwar e- ye but that one requires you to login and they might make that site safer but not this free online filing of extension.

Thanks but no thanks - i will mail mine. WIll miss the date by one day.

Intuit is getting cheap - software gets worse, prices go up and they reduce their services.
