There is nothing special to do ... just fill in the return normally and complete the FILE tab at the end ...

If you made a payment when you filed the extension, just make sure TurboTax ultimately gives you credit for the payment. It may populate the payment automatically for you. If it doesn't, you can enter it (or check on it) as below:

To add, change or delete a payment made with an extension request -

· Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)

· Click on Deductions and Credits

· Click on I'll choose what I work on

· Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

· On Other Taxes Paid, click the start or update button

On the next screen, scroll down to Payments with Extension

Once you have entered (or confirmed if pre populated) the extension payment, then before filing verify that you are getting credit for it. Look at Line 70 of your Form 1040 and verify that the Federal figure is correct. A state extension payment is entered in the same navigation steps as above.

To get the amount paid on a state extension to show up on the state return……
When you are done updating your federal return, you need to transfer the new federal information by going back through the state tab and the state return. Nothing will change until you transfer the fed info to the state again. If applicable, verify that it appears on the state return.

I'm using the Deluxe version of Turbotax and have followed your instructions to enter the amount of my tax payment when I filed for an extension in May, but when I check the return it still shows I owe a balance. Any idea how to correct this?

Thanks in advance!

You can still have a tax due even though you made a payment with the extension. That was just an estimate. You still owe more. Does the extension payment show up on 1040 schedule 3 line 9. And go to 1040 line 31. If you need to enter the payment.....

You can type estimates paid in the search box at the top of your return and click Find and it will give you a link to Jump To the screen where you enter Extension Payments.

To enter the amount you paid with an extension (including state extension) go to

Federal Taxes (or Personal for desktop H&B version)

Deductions and Credits

Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Other Income Taxes - Click the Start or Update button

Next page second section Payments with Extension

Either Visit All or Click Start or Update by the extension you paid
