Tax overpayment

I filed a 2021 federal extension and made a payment at that time via TurboTax. The amount I paid is reflected in the tool, but when I now go to file my return, it is not reflecting the amount I already paid.

    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

    Yes, the amount I paid is reflected in TurboTax in the other taxes section.  When i now go to finalize my return, it doesn't appear to be deducting that amount I already paid.

    ok - Schedule 3 line 10 is blank.  but my extension payment is recorded in the other taxes section you noted.  Do I just manually enter it in the schedule 3?

    Where in the Other Income Taxes section is the amount paid shown?

     

    It should have been entered in the section Payments with Extension and specifically in Payment with 2021 federal extension -
