Hi,
I filed for extension using the easy extension, and paid estimated federal taxes. Now I am using the turbo tax desktop to e-file. Now I see the actual federal taxes I owe is lower than the estimated payment I made in April. I don't see an option to enter my previously paid estimated taxes and get a refund back. Appreciate help - Thanks

@satishCA since you are using Desktop, the easiest way is to go to Forms View. Then click the "open forms" dropdown and type "tax payments"
click on the 'tax payments worksheet' and that form will open
look at line 9! Be sure it list the payment in the FEDERAL column.
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
Either Visit All or Click Start or Update by the extension you paid
For 2023 Federal Extension payments should be on schedule 3 line 10. And go to 1040 line 31.
Thank you
