Trying to file 2020tax forms

Just sign onto your online account, complete the tax return and then file the tax return.  The tax return can be e-filed up through October 15, 2020 - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

 

If you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page and the Take me to my return button is not available, scroll down and click on Add a state.  

This will take you back to the 2020 online tax return.

 

If you paid any tax with the extension -

If you used the TurboTax Easy Extension to electronically file the extension request, Form 4868, and make the tax payment with the request, the payment should already entered on your tax return. Provided you used the same user ID for the 2020 online tax return as was used to use Easy Extension. You can check to see if the amount is on your tax return by clicking on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Then click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Then click on Preview my 1040.
The federal extension payment will be shown on Form 1040 Line 31 and on Schedule 3 Line 9

 

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)
  • Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
  • On Other Income Taxes, click on the start or update button

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 the Magnifying Glass.  Click on Jump to federal extension payment
