Oh it was definitely for 2024, and yep I double checked that my extension had been accepted as well, and it certainly was according to TurboTax.
Be sure and save a copy of your acceptance in case you ever need to provide such to the IRS.
Do you have an IRS online account? If so, log in and go to the Tax Records section, and choose to look at transcripts. On the next page, for transcript type choose either an Account Transcript or "Record of Account" transcript. When you view the transcript and scroll down a little, you should see a section of Transaction codes. After I file an extension request, my Record of Account transcripts show this transaction code:
460 Extension of time to file tax return
It will show the date and any payment amount proffered with the extension.
Also, if you go back to the Home page of the IRS account and look for "Tax Payments", if you made a payment with the extension request, it should show up in the list of transactions there, too, but it may label it as a "balance payment."
