I pre-paid money on my Federal taxes when I files an extension. Where in Turbotax is that information supposed to entered into my return?

Turbotax did not ask if I had pre-paid any of the taxes.

Click on the deductions and credits tab and scroll down until you see estimates.

For 2019, If your extension payment did not automatically show up on 1040 Schedule 3 line 10 which goes to 1040 line 18d you need to enter it. So make sure it's not already there before you enter it!

 

You can type estimates paid in the search box at the top of your return and click Find and it will give you a link to Jump To the screen where you enter Extension Payments.

 

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

Income Taxes Paid - 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
