Can file my 2018 return which is ready to file but need to add info on extension form 4868 which I filed manually, not on TT. How do I add 4868 to return??

File as normal.  Log into your account and finish entering all your info.  Then continue through the File tab, through the 3 steps all the way to the very end and hit the big orange Transmit Returns Now button.  You can efile until Oct 15, 2019.  After that Online will shut down and you have to print and mail your return.

 

If you made a payment with the extension,  

If your extension payment did not automatically show up on 1040 Schedule 5 line 71 which goes to 1040 line 17 you need to enter it.  So make sure it's not already there before you enter it!

 

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
