How would I get money returned to me if I filed my extension with an estimate that was too much?

I sent in for extension on time but only estimated what I would owe, based on the past few years.  This year is different and I owe very little.  How would I get my money returned to me?

When you requested your extension you were supposed to pay your estimated tax due.  Did you enter the payment you made into your tax return?  Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes

 

Your income tax refund will be shown on line 20 of your Form 1040.

When you overpay, you get a refund of the overpayment.
