Where to input my IRS direct pay estimated tax paid information in Turbo Tax to now E-file. Extension form 4868 with payment was made

I filed Form 4868 requesting an extension as I was waiting on some addl. forms from investments (K1, K3).   My TurboTax Fed return showed a tax owed, but I wanted to pay more to avoid any interest penalties if my addl. investments info input into Turbo Tax determined more liability.  It  turned after inputting that new info into Turbo Tax that I overpaid with my IRS direct payment made. 

 

I'm ready to E-file now and  want to know where I should input that estimated payment and will Turbo Tax calculate that when I'm ready to submit giving me the option to get a refund or carryover for next yr tax liabilities.  I have Turbo Tax Premier. Do i go to the Federal Taxes tab, Deduction and Credits and enter in the Additional Payment section as I had not paid estimated quarterly taxes.   I didn't owe anything for my state taxes and will file that as well.

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
