If your extension payment did not automatically show up on 1040 line 70 you need to enter it. So make sure it's not already there before you enter it!
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 for H&B version)
Deductions and Credits
Choose Jump to Full List -or I'll choose what I work on
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

This seems to be broken. No matter what number I enter, it doesn't change the amount due or the line on the 1040.
Contact TurboTax support after the holiday weekend and speak directly with a TurboTax support agent concerning this situation.
