I filed my 2018 without properly noting a NOL in TurboTax and wish to amend the filing. When I filed in 2018 I owed taxes and wrote a check with the filing. Does TurboTax know about this "extra payment" I made while now doing the amended filing? If not, where do I enter the amount of the check I wrote?

When preparing your Amended Return for 2018, you will be able to enter the amount you paid with your return.

It has not asked me anywhere for the amount paid with the original return. Which section of should it have asked for this: Federal Taxes->Deductions & Credits, or possible Federal Taxes->Other Tax Situations ???

Level 15

TurboTax will assume you paid the tax due with the return, but if it doesn't show on the return you can enter it separately.

You would enter the additional taxes paid in the federal section of TurboTax as follows:

Deductions & Credits
I'll choose what I work on
Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
Estimates
Federal estimated taxes
Look for "Additional payments"
