Tax Extension Mistake – Form 4868 Box 8
I mistakenly answered one question on TurboTax's questionnaire so that Box 8 got checked on Form 4868, which states, "Check here if you’re “out of the country” and a U.S. citizen or resident. See instructions." I am in the country.
I thought TurboTax was asking if I was a U.S. citizen, which I am, and I did not suspect this would be checking Box 8 on the form. I did not notice the mistake until after it was sent in and I downloaded the pdf. Will this nullify my extension? Is there something else I should do? I sent in 90% of my expected due taxes in with the form.
As a side note, can TurboTax program it's system to show Form 4868 before sending as a "Review" so that users can double check for errors. Similar to how it does for regular filing.
