Paper extension

I filed a paper extension.  Can I still file electronically through Turbo Tax and, if so, do I have to attach a copy of the extension? How do I attach the copy?

 

Thank you.

Paper extension

No, you do not have to attach a copy of the extension form.  First, if you sent it to the IRS they already have it.  Second, you cannot attach things to e-filed returns.

 

Yes, you can use TurboTax to prepare and e-file your 2018 return.  The only "special" thing you need to do is make sure that you enter the estimated tax due that you paid with your extension on your tax returns.

 

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
