Where do I enter the payment I made with my extension request
I don't know what product you are using and whether it is desktop software or online, and I don't know if you are referring to a Federal extension payment or state extension payment. However, Federal and state extension payments are entered in the same interview topic. In general, this is how to get to that topic.
Federal Taxes tab (Personal tab in desktop Home and Business).
Subtab "Deductions and credits."
"I'll choose what I work on" (this screen only appears in the desktop products).
Scroll way down to "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid."
Choose subtopic "Other Income Taxes" (desktop) or "Income Taxes Paid" (online version.)
Next screen choose "Payments with extensions".
Choose the type of extension payment.
It "may" be prepopulated if you prepared the extension with TurboTax. If so, verify it's correct.
IMPORTANT: After finishing that interview and before filing, if it's a Federal payment make sure the extension payment shows up on a form called Schedule 5, Line 71 . And also check the Form 1040, Line 17 to be sure you are getting proper credit for the extension payment. For some users there is a bug where the extension payment did not show up on Schedule 5 and Form 1040.
If it's not showing up, we can tell you a possible workaround. If needed, please state if you are using desktop software (CD/download) or online TurboTax.
Of course, if you have a state extension payment, make sure you are getting credit for it on the state return prior to filing.
