On my state tax return, where do I enter the payment I made with the extension I filed earlier in the year?

I've gone through a few different state returns and cannot find where I enter the tax extension payment made outside of Turbotax

Ok ... weird as it may seem ... the AZ extension payment is in the FILE EXTENSION section ... if you did not complete this section originally then you must do so now even though you will not actually mail in any extension or payment now ... this is just to record the payment you did make earlier.

1)  If you made an extension payment for only one state, you can just enter that one state's extension payment in the Federal Taxes section<<<Deductions&Credits<<<Other Income Taxes section  (for those using the Online SE version, or desktop H&B version, it's in the Personal taxes section ).

 

2)  If you made extension payments to two or more states, you enter the total for all the states in the same spot as #1   (And select "Multiple States" from the end of the list of states).  Then, after you go thru each of the states interview, there should be a menu with "Other Situations" in which you can enter just the amount you paid for that state  (See Pic below)

Thank you for the response.  Yes, I made extension payments for multiple states and entered the total as "Multiple States", however, when I go to each State and go to the review section, there is no option similar to the pic you are showing.  I went back through the entire state process again, and at the end it simply bounces back to the full list of states without option.  I'm using the online version of TT Premier.  Any other suggestions?
