How do I get turbotax to update the estimated tax I paid?

I entered the amount paid with my extension.  The page indicates I owe "0" but when I go to file, the final numbers page indicates I still have to pay.  How do I fix that?

How do I get turbotax to update the estimated tax I paid?

Disregard the refund indicator on the TurboTax account for either a refund or taxes owed until you have entered all of your income and deduction and are in the File section of the program.

If you paid taxes with the extension request the payment will be shown on Form 1040 Line 17 and on Schedule 5 Line 71

Since you are using the Self-Employed edition you will probably owe self-employment taxes.

Look at your tax return, Form 1040, for the amount of taxes owed.  Self-employment taxes are shown on Schedule 4 Line 57 with the totals from Schedule 4 flowing to Form 1040 Line 14

Total taxes owed are shown on Form 1040 Line 22

 

You can view your Form 1040 at any time. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.
