File an extension if you need time. That way if you pay any balance due later it is just a small late payment charge about an interest amount.
You don't want to file late if you do owe anything.
I've been using Turbotax for years.
It is free for some people.
It can be done online, or purchased disk or download.
It has been more buggy in recent years, but it carries over things from one year to next, making taxes easy.
There is also Tax Act. Maybe others.
The IRS may also have an on-line system now, not sure.
Alternatively, you can file a simple 1040EZ or whatever works now, and amend later. So far as I know you could put in the credit by amendment.
But the credit is the easy part. "How much did you spend?" and you just enter that.
