How to correctly file extension with IRS separate payment?

I would like to file an extension inside TurboTax but pay with my existing IRS.gov website.
I have filed the extension successfully with TurboTax and it tells me to go ahead and make any estimated taxes due on the IRS website.

Once inside my IRS account, I have multiple options to pay, but the main question is what kind of payment type this would be? is this considered an "estimated tax" payment or an "extension" payment? I am just not sure if I pick "extension" if this means I am filing extension via IRS again (in addition to the e-file from turbotax)....


Here are the IRS options:

Pay 2024 Income tax

The amount you owe for the current tax year isn't reflected in your account yet.

Pay balance in full

Your total amount owed is - $0 balance.

Pay towards your balance

Make partial payments towards your total balance of - $0 balance.

Amended return

Make a payment on a recently filled Form 104X, Amended U.S. Income Tax Return.

Estimated tax

Make estimated tax payments in advance of filing your return.

Extension

Make a payment to receive an extension to file your Form 1040 tax return without filing Form 4868.

Proposed tax assessment

Make a payment for a proposed amount due (CP2000, Notice of Deficiency, or other proposed assessment).
