Adding payment I made when filing my 2021 Extension, but did not use Turbotax

I made a payment when I filed my 2021 extension using another tax software (not TT). Because I was affected by hurricane IAN and my county designated for qualified disaster relief, the IRS extended my 2021 extension filing date until 15 Feb 2023. I switched to Turbotax and completed my return (much better software) and now want to file my 2021 return, but can't figure out how/where to enter the amount I paid with my extension last April?

To enter the payment you made when you filed your extension:

 

  1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax, if it's not already open
  2. Search for estimated tax payments (use this exact phrase) and then click the Jump to link in the search results
  3. In the Payments with Extension section, select Start or Update next to the payment you submitted with your type of federal, state, or local extension. Make sure the amount shown is correct
