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.

If you entered the tax payment made with the extension request correctly in the TurboTax program -

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

Is there an amount entered on the Form 1040 Line 31?
