I paid my estimated taxes for both Federal and State with my extension. I cannot proceed with my return as a payment method is required. How do I get to this step?

Is it asking you to pay for the Turbo Tax fees?  Or isn't the extension payment showing up?  Maybe you still owe some more?

I paid my estimated taxes for both Federal and State with my extension. I cannot proceed with my return as a payment method is required. How do I get to this step?

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 Other Income Taxes, 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

The payment made with the federal extension request will be included on your tax return as a tax payment, Form 1040 Line 70, Form 1040A Line 46.

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

But make sure it's not already on line 70.  If you used Turbo Tax for the extension it should automatically put it for you so you don't want to double it.

And then to get the amount paid on a state extension to show up on the state return……
When you are done updating your federal return, you need to transfer the new federal information by going back through the state tab and the state return. Nothing will change until you transfer the fed info to the state again.
