Late/Extended Return After Timely Payment

djw2015 — Fri, 16 Oct 2020 02:37:34 GMT

On Tax Day 2020 I realized I didn't have some of the documents I needed to complete the return, so I paid the IRS directly what I estimated I owed. I received confirmation that that payment went through. How do I avoid double-paying when I file my return through TurboTax now?

If your extension payment did not automatically show up on 1040 Schedule 3 line 10 which goes to 1040 line 18d you need to enter it. So make sure it's not already there before you enter it!

You can type estimates paid in the search box at the top of your return and click Find and it will give you a link to Jump To the screen where you enter Extension Payments.

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
