If you filed a Form 4868 that is only for a federal tax return extension and any amount paid with the extension request is only applied to your federal tax return.  The payment made with the extension request will be included on your tax return as a tax payment, Form 1040 Line 70, Form 1040A Line 46. 

You would have to file a state extension request separately from the federal extension request and pay any state taxes with the state request.

The amounts paid with an extension request are entered separately in the TurboTax program for federal and state.

You can review the Tax Payments worksheet in the PDF you download that includes all forms and worksheets.

If you have filed your 2016 tax returns and they have been accepted, when you sign onto your online account and are on the Welcome Home screen, click on My TurboTax at the top of the screen.  When you are on your 2016 Timeline, under the section for SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO, click on Download all forms and worksheets

Do you mean tax payments made with your extension request?
