I made an estimated payment in 4/19 for federal taxes and am just know completing my taxes. It doesn’t show up in Turbo Tax. Do I enter the payment in the return?

Is there a place in the Turbo Tax return to enter that information?

[Kat]

Yes, you'll enter that payment under the Deductions and Credits section, under Estimated Taxes Paid.  The TurboTax FAQ below will explain how to enter this payment.

Some people have trouble with the extension payment not reducing the tax due or showing up right on the 1040.

See the fixes listed on this one

Also if you didn't efile by yesterday Oct 15, 2019 you can not efile now.  You will have to print and mail it.  You might even have to finish using the Desktop program on your computer.  Does it let you log back into your return?

Thanks VolvoGirl! I was able to go in today and complete the return. I didn’t enter the payment information cuz I didn’t know where to do it. When it asked me how I want to pay I realized something was wrong. I didn’t select anything but was able to go ahead and file my state taxes. I’m not sure what to do next. I didn’t get the normal confirmation email but I did for the state. I messed up!

Huh?  You can not efile federal or state today.  Efiling closed yesterday Oct 15. You have to print and mail returns now.  And you never can efile state unless federal was first efiled and accepted.

Did you get the extension payment entered?

To enter 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

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

Pay attention to which year you are entering for a State Extension payment.  A prior year state extension payment is also deductible on the federal return so be sure to enter it here.
