I prepaid $10,000 toward my taxes before the filing date so that I could extend my filing time. How do I get that prepaid dollar amount reflected in my return filing now

I am finally filing and my amount due does not reflect what I already paid. Do I have to pay the overage and then get a refund when the IRS sees that I already paid out $10,000?

When you requested your extension you were supposed to pay your estimated tax due. Did you enter the payment you made into your tax return? Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes

Put that amount on Schedule 3 line 10.

It is not an estimated tax payment.
