Where to I entere Federal and State Tax Payments in addition to Withholding

[sjt67]

I filed extensions in March for my Federal and state taxes. I submitted tax payments for Federal and state with the extension requests.  BTW, this was before the government granted filing and payment extensions.

The payments that I made payments were in addition to the withholding noted on my W-2 forms.  Where do I enter these payments on my Federal and state returns in Turbotax?

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 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

Pay attention to which year you are entering for a State Extension payment.  A prior year state extension payment is also deductible on the federal return so be sure to enter it here.

To get the amount paid on a state extension to show up on the state return……

When you are done updating your federal return, you need to transfer the new federal information by going back through the state tab and the state return. Nothing will change until you transfer the fed info to the state again.

Oh I should have also said.....did you use Turbo Tax to file the extension?  Then it should automatically show up on 1040 Schedule 3 line 10 which goes to 1040 line 18d.  So make sure it's not already there before you enter it!

I didn’t use TT to file the extensions.  

Can you provide screenshots where I need to enter the extension payments for federal and state?

Here's one I have saved.  It would be the line below the box I have outlined

Thanks for the screen shot.  The left hand margin indicates "self-employed".  I am not self-employed and don't pay estimated tax.   I'm still not clear where to reflect the payments I made to Federal and state when I filed my extension requests.

You don't see that screen in your version?  What version do you have?  They should be all the same.  I'll try to take a couple more screen shots.  That one was from before so it might have changed a little.  Why couldn't you use the steps I posted? And the jump to link?

[VolvoGirl]

OK here are 3 screens shots.  I hope you can find them.  This is from the Premier Online version but is the same for ALL versions.

Click on Federal

Then  on Deductions and Credits at the top.  You may have to go though some general screens.  Just answer no and keep going. 

Then Select ALL TAX BREAKS

Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

These screen shots are very helpful for the additional federal tax I paid.  What about state?    Could you provide a screen shot sample where I would enter the additional amount I paid to my state when I got an extension? 

Thank you for taking the time to provide these steps.

I highlighted it.  Right below federal.
