I did my extension separately from Turbo tax, how do i tell turbo tax my federal return due is 10/17/22

[VolvoGirl]

You don't need to tell Turbo Tax.  The IRS knows.  Did you make a payment with the extension?

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 and change it to zero.

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

Other Income Taxes - 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

Since today is 10/18 that really is a mute subject...  but if you made a payment with the extension make sure you enter it here : 

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)

You cannot e-file a 2021 tax return after October 17, 2022 unless the e-filed return was sent on or before the due date and rejected by the IRS.  The tax return can only be printed and mailed.

See this for printing a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/print-mail-return-turb...

If you paid any taxes with the extension you will need to report the payment on your 2021 tax return.

END OF YEAR STEPS FOR ONLINE USERS
E-file servers are shut down for the year for personal returns. No exceptions!   You won't be able to work on your return or get a copy of it after November 17.

If you have already filed your return I would double check that both federal and state were accepted here,
https://shop.turbotax.intuit.com/efile/efile_status_lookup.jsp 

If you haven't filed or finished yet you only have until Nov  17 to finish and efile.   If you efile by Nov 17  you should still save and print out the pdf file ASAP  so you can mail it in case your efile gets rejected and you are not able to get it to go through.  

If you don't efile by Nov 17 you will have to print and mail it.  If you don't finish your return you will have to switch to the Desktop program.  So you might want to switch NOW.  To switch from online to desktop and continue in the desktop version see this…….
