I was unable to file my tax on 15 Apr. I did file an extension and paid 2500.00. Now I am home and want to file my Turbo Tax file, how do I show I filed an extension?

If you filed an extension and it was accepted, then the IRS knows you have the extension. 

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
