WHY ISN’T THE EXTENSION PART OF THE FORMS TO TRANSMIT?

You just file as normal. You don’t enter anything about the extension on your return except a payment you made with the extension. Did you use Turbo Tax to file the extension back in April?

If your extension payment did not automatically show up on your 1040 or state return you need to enter it. So make sure it's not already there before you enter it! Federal Extension payments should be on scheduled 3 line 10. And go to 1040 line 31.

To enter the amount you paid with an extension (including state extension) go to

Federal Taxes (or Personal for desktop H&B version)

Deductions and Credits

Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Other Income Taxes - Click the Start or Update button

Next page second section Payments with Extension

Either Visit All or Click Start or Update by the extension you paid

For Online, When you click in the left column tab for Deductions & Credits, it may take you to a page called "Your Tax Breaks. Lower on that same screen should be a button or link for "Add more tax breaks" or "Show more tax breaks" or similar wording. When clicked, then the screen should expand, and all the deduction topics are displayed including "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid."
