The extension gives you until October 15, 2025 to file your taxes without getting a failure to file penalty.  You don't get extra time to pay your taxes so you must pay any taxes that you may have that are due by April 15, 2025 so you won't be assessed the failure to pay penalty.   Refer to the TurboTax Help article How do I file an IRS tax extension?.  If you need to file a state extension, review the article How do I file an extension for my personal state taxes?    

If you have a single member LLC, your individual tax return extension applies to the LLC.  If it is a corporation or partnership, the original deadline has passed unless you are in a federally declared disaster area and need to extend the automatic extension.

Box 15 shows what state the pension or IRA administrator sent your withholding to. TurboTax also uses this to trigger what states you need to file.    If it's the "wrong" state, you still need to enter it, because in many cases you will have to file a non-resident return in that state to get your withholding back.

We are missing some information, which makes it impossible to know if your dad paying your rent is even relevant.   How old were you at the end of 2024?  Were you a full-time student?  Did you earn more than $5050 in 2024--not counting any Social Security benefits?

Line D want you to annualize your income and taxes paid. You enter the first 3 payments and the program will do the work. Same with income.   I did a very basic example of $1,000 turns into  $4,000 when annualized, I have no deductions the first 3 quarters.  See the screenshot line 13 is the same as line 3 for the first 3 quarters.   The federal and state governments expect  payments when you earn the money. You can make a payment anytime.  

If you make an extension payment via IRS taxpay or EFTPS, then you do not even have to file a form, the mere fact that you made an extension payment gets you the extension. The same goes for CA state but I don't about other states.

No, a 1099-K and 1099-NEC are two different forms. A 1099-K is a report of payments you got for goods or services during the year from credit cards or online marketplaces.   Make sure you select the correct option in the choices for "Other Common Income."

I just wanted to chime in on this thread as I came looking for similar clarity this tax season. What I learned is that the blanket statement that the only CA tax exempt PFL is ones that come ONLY from a separate W2 from your company's insurer is untrue. That statement cannot be applied to all situations.   In my case the company I work has a voluntary plan and uses The Larkin Company to administer parental leave. I received pay both in the form of PFL, which matches what the EDD would pay, as well as pay from my employer. However, all the pay still came through my employer every pay period, for convenience. Larkin specifically states that the PFL portion is CA tax exempt and at the end of the year I will not receive a separate W2 from them. Instead it will all be reported on my company's normal W2, which is why the PFL portion is denoted in box 14. So it is not true that if you do not receive a separate W2 from your company's insurance company that you have no PFL to deduct from the CA sate tax. In my case I marked the W2 as containing PFL, then in the state tax section I entered the PFL amount from Box 14 to reduce my CA taxable income by that same amount.   In the end the best thing you can do is ask your company for clarity and see if the numbers make sense.
