Tax Extension/Payment Filed Can't find confirmation/records

I filed my tax extension using ONLINE Turbo Tax on or about 4/14/25.  At that time I scheduled a payment to be made 6/14/25.  I received two emails.  First saying the IRS extension had been submitted.  The second saying the IRS extension was accepted.  Both of these emails warned that you may be charged fees and that you need to make sure you make a payment.  This has me highly concerned.

 

Today, 5/8/25, I filed my tax returns using DESKTOP Turbo Tax.  In my taxes I noted the amounts paid to federal and state when I filed my extension.  I have spend at least 6 hours searching trying to find my records and some kind of confirmation that my payment is scheduled and I found NOTHING.  I even went to my IRS account and they have no record of the extension or scheduled payment.

 

PLEASE HELP. I need to confirm the extension was filed and the payment is scheduled.

Cannot imagine what you did -- or think that you did -- to schedule a payment of your estimated tax due, which was supposed to be paid at the time you requested your extension.  You were supposed to make that payment no later than April 15.   So your estimated payment is late, and will be even later if not made until mid-June.  An extension only gives you extra time to prepare and file your Form 1040.  Your tax due is supposed to be paid by the April 15 deadline.

 

You can check-- but.....this sounds really iffy and you may have just "messed up."
