Sign onto your TurboTax online account and complete the tax return. You can e-file a 2016 tax return using TurboTax through October 16, 2017.
The payment made with the extension request will be included on your tax return as a tax payment, Form 1040 Line 70, Form 1040A Line 46. It is not an estimated tax payment which would be paid using a Form 1040-ES.
If you used the TurboTax Easy Extension to electronically file the extension request, Form 4868, and make the tax payment with the request, the payment should already entered on your tax return. Provided you used the same user ID for the 2016 online tax return as was used to use Easy Extension. You can check to see if the amount is on your tax return by clicking on My Account at the top of the program screen. Then click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Then click on Preview my 1040.
