    You enter both federal and state extension payments under the federal side.

     

    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!

     

    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

     

    Pay attention to which year you are entering for a State Extension payment.  A prior year state extension payment is also deductible on the federal return so be sure to enter it here.

     

    To get the amount paid on a state extension to show up on the state return……

    When you are done updating your federal return, you need to transfer the new federal information by going back through the state tab and the state return. Nothing will change until you transfer the fed info to the state again.
