I already paid my tax debt when I filed for the automatic extension but turbo tax won't let me proceed without choosing a payment option. What do I do?

[SweetieJean]

Is it asking you to pay the TT fees?

[janinepoppa]

No.  It just gives the options to pay the taxes I owe but I had already written a check for that back in April.

[janinepoppa]

Maybe I should just click pay by check since I already paid by check?

[janinepoppa]

Great, yes it was under payments with extensions.  thanks so much!  Recommend!

I changed it to an answer so you can vote it up.

If your extension payment did not automatically show up on 1040 line 70 you need to enter it.  So make sure it's not already there before you enter it!

You can type estimates paid in the search box at the top of your return and click Find and it will give you a link to Jump To the screen where you enter Extension Payments.

To enter the amount you paid with an extension (including state extension)  go to
Federal Taxes (or Personal for H&B/Self Employed version)
Deductions and Credits
Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
Other Income Taxes - Click the Start or Update button

Next page second section Payments with Extension
Either Visit All or Click Start or Update by the extension you paid
