On April 15. 2024 I filed 4868 for 2023. Paid by check. In October 2024 I want to add that amount to turbotax file. How do I do it? All info I have found is not for this software version.
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

in 2024; these instructions don't work. In 1040, deductions and credits there is no Other Income taxes.
I guessed by going to Estimated taxes paid, the first choice. Then: Federal taxes (and state taxes) then AT the bottom: Additional payments. Entered the date I'll mail my extension.
== this is too much work for filing an extension with a check for the tax balance. Once upon a time TT was helpful and when you filled out fornm 4868 or teh state extesion and you entered the amount paid it updated the taxes due automatically. Instead in 2024 I had to google, search here, poke around, wasting time. It could have been automated within TT, like I';m paying for... :(
