When I use the print center to generate a preview of the return, my payment isn't included (because I couldn't enter it). As a result, the return is saying I owe (when I won't once the payment is included). How do I enter this in?
State extension payments are entered on the Federal interview side. If you're preparing the return online, here are the navigation steps in Online TurboTax:
- Open you return interview, and In the left menu column, click the Federal tab (If using desktop Home and Business, it's the Personal tab.)
- Then click the subtab Deductions & Credits.
- On the "Tax Breaks" screen scroll way down until you see the category "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid."
- Click that to expand, and in the list of subtopics choose "Income Taxes Paid." (click Start or Revisit).
- On the next screen, titled "Income Taxes Paid," you should see a category of "Payments with Extension." Choose the type of extension payment you need to report and click Start or Revisit.
- Enter (or confirm) the figure for your extension payment.
- Then look at your state return again to be sure it shows up on the state return.
