Have you filled out all  your tax return?   Keep going to the very end, though the last 3 steps and hit the big Transmit Returns Now button.  Where are you stuck?

 

If your extension payment from 4868 line 7 did not automatically show up on 1040 you need to enter it. So make sure it's not already there before you enter it!

 

For 2024 Federal Extension payments should be on schedule 3 line 10. And go to 1040 line 31.

 

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.

 

To enter the amount you paid with an extension (including state extension) go to

Federal Taxes (or Personal Tab 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

Taxes

You just prepare and file your 2024 tax return as usual.   You do not have to enter anything about "having" an extension on the Form 1040.  The IRS knows that you requested an extension.

 

 

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, you can. TurboTax offers two options. one is live assisted service where you do most of the work and an expert from TurboTax can help/guide you when you have any issue or question. Other option is Full Service, where you upload all the required documents and someone from TurboTax will prepare the return for you.

See below link about Full Service option.
