Did you file yet ?  If you haven't filed......

 

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

Federal Taxes (or Personal for desktop H&B 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

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


Or enter federal extension payment in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to federal extension payment


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

If you did already file with the incorrect amount, wait until the IRS finishes processing your tax return and you get the refund (if any). The IRS might correct the payment amount for you, since they know how much you paid. If they don't correct it, you will have to file an amended return to make the correction.

You need to report all your income on your tax return. 

If you received another W-2 after filing, wait until the IRS either reject or accept your return. 

  •  If your return is rejected, you can add the W-2 before resubmitting or paper-filing your return.
  • If your return is accepted (or if you already paper-filed), you'll need to amend your return to add another W-2.

Where do I add or enter a second W-2?
