I went out and bought Turbo Tax, worked through it and when I printed out my returns, the summary pages said to mail it by Aug 16, with no mention of having to file for an extention. Just wondering if they forgot to mention it, or if it's really not necessary, since I show refunds on both federal and state.
Your thoughts?

You still need to either file the return or an extension by 4/15 for federal.
For states, it depends on the state (you'll need to look itup). In Oregon, a properly filed federal return will extend an Oregon return automatically.
However, know that filing an extension DOES NOT get you off the hook for paying. You still might need to pay some in on 4/15 or be subject to state/federal penalties 'n' interest.
