Most states allow you an extension to file your state return without needing to file anything other than the federal extension. Check your state to see what they require.
To file a federal extension: Menu Path: Personal > 2020 Extension > Begin your 2020 Extension
Important: An extension of time to file your tax return does NOT mean you have an extension of time to pay your tax due. If you owe taxes, be sure to make an estimated tax payment before the May 17, 2021 payment deadline, even if you don't file your return until October 15, 2021.
