Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I filed an extension (Form 4868) and paid $X on April 15, 25. Where do I enter this extension payment in TurboTax Online so it’s credited properly against my tax due?

The closest place I can find it "Federal estimated taxes for 2024 (Form 1040-ES)" under Estimated Tax Payments. But that does not seem right.

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 2024 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 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

Perfect! Thank you so much. I spent hours looking for exactly that.
