How to enter in turbo tax the amount overpaid when 2021 extension was submitted to be applied to 2022 estimated tax

I submitted extension for year 2021 and payed taxes due.   That resulted in overpayment of tax due according to the actual return submitted later.  After I  submitted a return I received a notice CP21C saying "Amount applied to 2022 estimated tax - $$$".  Question:  how do I enter this amount in turbotax 2022 while preparing my return?  Google search suggested I need to enter it on form 1040 schedule 5 line 66.  I do not see this schedule 5 in the list of forms in Turbo Tax.  Please help!

In TurboTax (TT), enter at:

Federal Taxes Tab (Personal for H&B version)

Deductions & Credits

-Scroll down to:

--Estimates & other taxes paid

   -Other Income taxes

    On the next screen, scroll down to:

     -Other income taxes paid in 2022

      On the next screen:

       -Payments with Extension

         -Payment with 2022 Federal extension

Something doesn't make sense.  When you filed the 2021 return did the extension payment show up?  For 2021 Federal Extension payments should be on schedule 3 line 10. And go to 1040 line 31.  Then you should have had a Refund on 1040 line 35a?   Then did you have the refund applied to 2022 return on line 36?

 

Schedule 5 is for old tax returns.  For 2022 the amount applied from 2021 goes straight to 1040 line 26 (no schedule)
