After you file

Ok ... so when you completed the interview the amount paid with the extension was presented and it was up to you to make sure the amount was correct.  The program would have carried forward the amount estimated earlier expecting it to be paid with the extension ... if the amount was not correct it was up to you to correct the figure before you filed.  This is a user entry error and not a program issue.  

 

Log back into the return ... scroll down and click on ADD A STATE to let you back in then check what was in the program ... 

 

To enter, change or delete a payment made with an extension request (Federal, State, Local) -

  • Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
  • Click on Deductions and Credits
  • Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
  • Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
  • On Income Taxes Paid, click on the start or update button

On the next screen select the type of extension payment made and click on the start or update button

                                                                                                                                     
Or enter federal extension payment in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to federal extension payment
