So I had the button pushed for Someone can claim you as a dependent"

[matthew-mudrick]

i noticed that my wife also had it pushed and I filed for an extension to give me more time and paid my federal. Now I need to file state. I need to know if I need to turn in my paper work for fed, to does it go to the same place? as my state return the IRS?

[matthew-mudrick]

I also found the address for the state but was not sure if it was the same for the federal return 

Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
Fresno, CA 93888-0002

and if it was then do I send copies to both of them?

Federal and state go to different places.  The Treasury in Fresno is only for Federal.  California goes to Sacramento.

alright I'm filing for Ohio, so I do have that one i think which is the one I posted. I was and still am unsure where to send the federal paper work. I paid what I owe for the year but I know, I still have to send in the paper work. Everything I have found this far sends me back to the first address I got for the Ohio return address.

When you print to mail it gives you a cover sheet saying where to mail it.  There should be a separate sheet in front of the state return.   Can I ask you why you aren't Efiling your returns?

[matthew-mudrick]

When I talked to an agent. She told me not to, and do everything through the mail sense the "someone can claim you as a dependent" was checked. It would be easier but was not sure if I could.

If you are in Ohio you mail the Federal to  the Fresno, CA address if you are not sending a payment with it.  Or to Cincinnati for all other Federal returns.  See,

https://www.irs.gov/filing/ohio-where-to-file-addresses-for-taxpayers-and-tax-professionals 

That is only for Federal.   IRS and Treasury are only for Federal returns.

Here is Ohio state mailing addresses

Why do you keep mentioning a problem with "someone else can claim me as a dependent?"   Did you incorrectly say that someone could claim you as a dependent when it's not true?    If so,  you need to correct that before you file anything, no matter if filing by efile or by mail.

Also did you make a payment with the extension?  You need to make sure it's included on your return.

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

Thank you I have been trying to find it for some time, as with anyone with taxes I just want this done :). That one button, pushed everything back, and complicated everything a lot more.  

[matthew-mudrick]

I did fix it it took some digging, but for some reason with out me actually pressing that button as I know no one can claim me it was pressed for both me, and my wife.

[matthew-mudrick]

I will have to check that as i did make a payment with the extension.

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  This will show up on line 17 of your Form 1040
