How to let TurboTax know that the LLC already paid the $800 franchise tax fee for 2021?

Hi, in California,  I already paid the LLC's $800 franchise tax fee for 2021 on the FTB website at the same time I requested an extension.  I'm using Home & Business to prepare my return for filing this week.  The program is instructing me to mail in a check for $800.  I can't see how to tell the program that I already paid the $800 for 2021.  How do I do that please?  Thanks.

To enter, change or delete a payment made with an extension request (Federal, State, Local) -

• 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 Income Taxes Paid, 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

Or enter federal extension payment in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to federal extension payment

This dos not work because it only allows entries relating to CA Form 540 personal income tax.  I need to enter relating to CA Form 3522, the payment voucher for the $800 yearly LLC franchise tax fee.  The program was telling me I needed to send in Form 3522 and $800 for the year 2021 franchise tax fee.  What I did was, I went to Form 3522 and in the worksheet part of it, clicked on the $800 automatic entry and went to its supporting document and on the supporting document entered 0.00, which changed the number dollar amount on the From 3522 to 0.  And now the instructions for filing in TurboTax don't tell me to file a 3522 and pay $800.  The state knows I paid the $800 because I paid it on the FTB website.  Now TurboTax doesn't think I need to pay it.  So I guess it's ok?  Please advise.  Thanks.

If you open form 568, there is a "tax payments smart worksheet" immediately above line 8. You can enter the prior payment on lines A, B, or C depending on what form you used (line B is for 3522). Then TurboTax uses those numbers to populate the taxes paid lines.
