Extension requested, email confirm by Turbotax, no record with IRS

I filed an extension request via Turbotax and received an email confirming this, but my request was never submitted to the IRS. How do I find out why? It's causing a significant problem for me right now. I log into my account online but Turbotax seems to have not recorded this. Not sure where to go from here.

Extension requested, email confirm by Turbotax, no record with IRS

If the e-filed extension request was Accepted by the IRS then why are you asking about confirmation from the IRS?  There will not be a record of the extension request in your IRS tax account unless you paid taxes with the request.

 

If you need a copy of the Form 4868 that was filed see this TurboTax support FAQ for how to print the form - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/print-4868-extension-f...

 

To enter, change or delete a payment made with an extension request (Federal, State, Local) -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Deductions and Credits
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
On Income Taxes Paid, click on the start or update button


On the next screen select the type of extension payment made and click on the start or update button


Or enter federal extension payment in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to federal extension payment


The federal extension payment will be shown on Schedule 3 Line 10. The amount from Schedule 3 Part II Line 15 flows to Form 1040 Line 31


If you used the TurboTax Easy Extension to electronically file the extension request, Form 4868, and make the tax payment with the request, the payment should already entered on your tax return. Provided you used the same user ID for the 2022 online tax return as was used for the Easy Extension. You can check to see if the amount is on your tax return by clicking on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Then click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Then click on Preview my 1040.
