I e-filed a request for extension through turbotax in April but I didn't receive any confirmation document. What should I do?

Do I need to attach any extension confirmation when I am filing my taxes late now in October?

If your e-filed extension request was not rejected by the IRS, you do not need to enter anything on your tax return concerning the request since the IRS will know about your request.

 

Did you pay any taxes with the extension request?  If so -

 

If you used the TurboTax Easy Extension to electronically file the extension request, Form 4868, and make the tax payment with the request, the payment should already entered on your tax return. Provided you used the same user ID for the 2022 online tax return as was used for the Easy Extension. You can check to see if the amount is on your tax return by clicking on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Then click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Then click on Preview my 1040.


The federal extension payment will be shown on Schedule 3 Line 10. The amount from Schedule 3 Part II Line 15 flows to Form 1040 Line 31


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

Click on Deductions and Credits
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)

On the next screen select the type of extension payment made and click on the start or update button

There is nothing to attach.   If you successfully requested an extension in April then the IRS knows you have it.   File your return as normal.

 

 

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
