I paid estimated taxes when i filed an extension, but i need to request that money to be refunded. How do I request that?

I paid estimated taxes due at the time the extension was filed based on what TurboTax estimated. After filing the return however, I was due a refund but there was no where in TurboTax to input the estimated taxes paid. As a result, the refund amount I am being sent does not include the estimated taxes paid at the time I filed the extension. So I am trying to figure out how to request the amount paid in estimated taxes to be refunded.

You should have asked about this before you went ahead and e-filed without entering the estimated tax paid or checking to see if the estimated tax was already entered.  Whenever you have doubts or questions about what you are doing----ask BEFORE you file your tax return.

When you requested your extension you were supposed to pay your estimated tax due.  Did you enter the payment you made into your tax return? 

Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes 

The IRS might catch this mistake.  Wait for your return to be fully processed before you do anything else.   If they do not catch the mistake then you can amend the return and make sure that the estimated payment is included.

Double check your return.  A payment with an Extension should automatically show up on  schedule 3 line 10. And go to 1040 line 31.  So make sure it's not already there before you enter it!  If it is not on your return the IRS should catch it and add it in for you and increase your refund.
