After completing our 2018 taxes using TurboTax, we owed zero taxes. When I printed form 1040, it was two pages combined onto a single page. There was no line 70 to show the amount I paid with the extension ($200). Why is the form 1040 so short compared with 2017? How do I show the $200 I paid – TurboTax had that info when I used EasyStep.
For 2018, the IRS totally redesigned the 1040 and also eliminated the 1040A and 1040EZ. "Redesigning" the 1040 means that they removed most of the lines on the 1040 and spread them across 6 schedules (1 through 6), so actually they really didn't simplify it at all.
The line referred to here (for the payment of tax with form 4868) is now line 71 on Schedule 5 of form 1040. Enter this amount as described above and then go looking for Schedule 5. I don't know if you are using the Online or Desktop software, but for Online, look for "Preview my 1040" and in Desktop look for Forms.
Thank you – schedule 5 is the answer – I now have that refund info on my 1040. However, I'm not sure why EasyStep failed to enter it there. Perhaps because I went back to Forms. I hope TurboTax monitors this forum and learns from it.
My extension payment shows in TT but does not get included in total taxes paid.
I am not sure why you extension payment didn't show on your tax return, but you can enter the amount manually:
Using Turbo Tax Premier; 2021 1040-SR
I filed an extension using Turbo Tax and sent the payment to the IRS with the application-generated voucher.
The forms I had not received arrived today but after I entered the data--including the amount I had paid with the application for extension which had automatically appeared in the blank for extension payment--the generated final return showed I still owed tax in the amount of the payment I previously made. What am I missing? I'd like to be able to submit a return that accurately reflects my payments and shows that no further tax is due. Thanks.
what do you have under 'estimated tax payments', specifically what was paid on April 15, 2022?
Estimated tax payments include all form 1040-ESpayments I made prior to April 15, 2022.
"Payment with 2021 federal extension" is under heading "Payments with Extension" in "Other income taxes." This is where the amount of my extension payment shows up but the return still shows that amount as taxes due. Thanks.
Depends on whether you paid an estimated tax or you paid taxes with an extension request.
To enter, edit or delete estimated taxes paid (Federal, State, Local) -
Or enter estimates paid in the Search box located in the upper right of the online program screen. Click on Jump to estimates paid
To enter, change or delete a payment made with an extension request (Federal, State, Local) -
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 9. The amount from Schedule 3 Part II Line 13 flows to Form 1040 Line 31
Very helpful. Thank you.
where do I put the amount paid with the extension in the form?

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
I have done all of those steps, and while the TT interview questions show the amount paid with extension as entered, they are NOT flowing through those payments as made on Schedule 3 (line 10 and line 15), and nothing is flowing through to Form 1040 Line 31. So it looks like I did not pay it, even though I mailed in the check and the IRS cashed it long ago. Is there a way to "override" Schedule 3 or Form 1040 to show the amount paid with the extension?
