I filed an extension form before the May17th deadline. Do I have until August 17th or October 15th to file my completed tax forms?

Your extension gives you until October 15, 2021 to e-file a 2020 return. After that e-filing will close and a 2020 return will have to be printed, signed and mailed.

When you file your return make sure you have entered the amount you paid for the estimated tax due---

When you requested your extension you were supposed to pay your estimated tax due. Did you enter the payment you made into your tax return? Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes
