I overpaid on my "extension" estimate - how do I enter the additional dollars into my "taxes-paid" si I can get my refund?
If you made a
payment when you filed the extension, just make sure TurboTax ultimately gives
you credit for the payment. It may populate the payment
automatically for you. If it doesn't, you can enter it (or check on
it) as below:
To add, change or delete a payment made
with an extension request -
· Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
· Click on Deductions and Credits
· Click on I'll choose what I work on
· Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
· On Other Taxes Paid, click the start or update button
On the next screen, scroll down to Payments with Extension
Once you have entered (or confirmed if pre populated)
the extension payment, then before filing verify that you are getting credit
for it. Look at Line 70 of your Form 1040 and verify that the
Federal figure is correct. A state extension payment is entered in
the same navigation steps as above.
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. If applicable, verify that it appears on the state
return.
