How do I import 4868 (pdf) into Turbotax Desktop?

I filed my 4868 in April but had to do all my info all over since my computer crashed and could not recover the data. I have my 4868 pdf form (Extension form) but cannot seem to figure out a way to import it into the TurboTax 2021 desktop edition. I cannot manually input it as well. Any help is greatly appreciated

How do I import 4868 (pdf) into Turbotax Desktop?

A Form 4868 is not entered on a federal tax return.  If you paid any taxes with the extension request you need to enter those taxes on your return.

 

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 Income Taxes Paid, 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


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


The federal extension payment will be shown on Schedule 3 Line 10. The amount from Schedule 3 Part II Line 15 flows to Form 1040 Line 31
