Extending your return only gives you extra time to file your tax return. Any tax due should be paid by the original due date of the return. The amount listed on the extension form is generated from your input within TurboTax.
Please see what if I can't pay my taxes for more information.

SMS/Text notifications are painfully behind an inconsistent. For example, if you file and get a rejection, and quickly fix, you will receive an email "REturn Accepted" and a few minutes later a text message "Return Rejected". This gets worse with federal + state filings where you get a stream of "return accepted", "return rejected" , "return accepted", "return rejected" over and over. Please fix Text notices to deliver consistently with email, or disable them entirely. The current experience is worse than useless. STEPS TO REPEAT 1. e-file federal & state but have an error (e.g. IP PIN mismatch) 2. correct the error and re-file 3. check email 4. wait for text. ACTUAL RESULTS A stream of inconsistent results like "return rejected", "accepted", "rejected" in random order over 30 minute window EXPECTED RESULTS Email , App status & Text message status should all be exactly the same.

If it was rejected, it wasn't filed. You can just abandon that return.

Some New Jersey employers put FLI in box 19. It doesn't belong there. It belongs in box 14. Enter FLI in box 14 in TurboTax. Leave boxes 18, 19, and 20 empty.

Thanks. I am a little confused though. There is itemized deduction, where I can use the mortgage interest and property tax. And there is passive loss deduction. I have used the property part time for personal use while it was not rented. I am not sure should I be allowed a passive loss deduction or for itemized deduction (1098).

Here are two ways to navigate to the section to enter the 6 digit IP PIN:
Log in and open your return ("Take me to my return")
Once the return is open, then go to the Federal Taxes tab.
Subtab Other Tax Situations
Scroll down to Other Return Info.
Choose Identity Protection PIN and Start (or Revisit.)
Next screen asks: "Did you or any of your dependents get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?"
Or another way:
Open your return if not already open. ("Take me to my return.")
Once the return is open, click at the top on MY ACCOUNT, then choose TOOLS.
In the Tools window choose TOPIC SEARCH.
Enter IP PIN without quotes.
In the selection list highlight IP PIN and click GO.

You cannot take a deduction for repairs to your home. You can only claim expenses if it is a business or rental.

Have you asked this 3rd party about the W-2 that they send you?
1. Is the health insurance premium included in the Box 1 amount?
2. If the health insurance premium is not included in box 1, then would it not be appropriate to include a code DD in box 12 with the amount of the health insurance premium?
4. Is this 3rd party the one debiting your checking account for the health insurance premium, or is it someone else?
I am curious to their thought process.

I had to charge $20 on my credit card to get access to the California e-filing. Then I ran into the infamous CODE 2 error that said that I could not upload my return. I read the various threads on resetting security, purging browser data and messing around with my router. After about 15 attempts to upload the return, I have run out of time and will mail in the return. The Code 2 issue is huge. As a known problem, I would ask Intuit to credit my $20 filing fee back to me. I cannot and will not be using that service.

I wonder if it's an offset. The IRS and State Governments have the ability to offset a refund to pay for certain past due debts. You generally will receive a letter stating what the offset was for. The IRS provides a toll-free number, (800) 304-3107, to call for information about tax offsets.

If you are unable to pay your taxes in full, you should still file by April 15th, but you can apply for a payment plan from the IRS.

Where do I find my AGI?
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947
Your 2023 tax return shows your 2022 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) If you filed a joint return then the AGI is the same for each of you.
Form 1040 line 11
If entering the amount from your 2023 tax return does not work, then try entering “0” instead. If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.
You can get a free transcript of your past return from the IRS:
https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
Note: If you filed late or amended your return, your correct 2023 AGI may not be in the system.
