I filed for extension earlier this year and I'm about to efile. Difference what I paid with extension and what my return is now is $89. How do I pay the additional $89

[Mike9241 · Accepted solution]

1) send 1040-V with check, money order, cashier's check through the mails - use tracking

20 select direct debit on your return and provide routing and account numbers

3) use IRS website Direct Pay

https://www.irs.gov/payments/direct-pay 

you may get a bill for late payment penalties and interest.

Pull up form 4868 and complete it. It will be included with your return,

Wait, does your return line 37 tax due show just the $89 you still owe or the total 89+ extension payment?  It should be only the $89.   Make sure you are getting credit for the extension payment on 1040 line 31 which comes from schedule 3 line 10.  If it's not there you need to enter it.

 By the way, any penalty on line 38?   You can probably eliminate that.  Is the penalty $89?  If Turbo Tax thinks you didn't pay the extension payment it may give you a penalty.

4/15/23 form 4868 paid $408

now 1040 line 37 $497

[VolvoGirl · Accepted solution]

Anything on line 38?  And Does the $408 show on line 1040 line 31 which comes from schedule 3 line 10?  If not you still need to enter it.   If it is on line 31 then you owe the full 497 in addition to the 408 you already paid.  

To enter the amount you paid with an extension (including state extension)  go to

Federal Taxes (or Personal for desktop H&B version)

Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Either Visit All or Click Start or Update by the extension you paid

Cannot find schedule 3 in my forms. Cannot find in TT where you can enter an amount for schedule 3 line 10?  

[TMac5]

Thanks. Found it finally. Appreciate it.

Glad you found it.  Are you ok now?  What does tax due on line 37 show now?  Is it only the $89 or less?  

[TMac5]

Thank, yes only 89
