You should be able to edit your federal extension payment by following the steps listed out below:

To enter 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 (if shown)
  • Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
  • On Other Income Taxes, 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. Be sure to indicate Federal.
Even though you have already made your payment, going back through this process should enable you to "edit" any information that you wish to change.

I hope this helps! If not, please feel free to comment back and I will do everything in my power to further assist you!

a customer filed an extension and made a payment for his MD state return. Now when he tries to efile for his federal and his MD return it doesn't deduct the amount of the payment he made looking as if he did not make a payment. Is there a way to keep the amount of what he paid on his account instead of reverting back to the original amount?
