What do you mean by "post it"? Did you mail the amended tax return (Form 1040X)? An amended return cannot be e-filed. You have to print it, sign it, and file it by mail. If you didn't mail it, you didn't file it.   The normal processing time for an amended return is up to 16 weeks from when the IRS receives it, so if you mailed it three months ago, you have about another month to wait.   Starting about 3 weeks after you mailed your amended return you can check the status at the following link on the IRS web site.   Where's My Amended Return? ...

1.  After you enter the amount, do you press Tab or click Done? The Federal Tax Due won't change immediately when you enter the amount. You have to press Tab or click Done. Pressing Enter won't do it.   2.  If that's not the problem, make sure you have no overrides anywhere in your tax return. An override can cause the automatic calculations to break in unexpected ways, even if the override is in a place that you think has nothing to do with the problem. Remove all overrides, then see if you still have the problem.   3.  If neither of those ideas solves the problem, call TurboTax support. With your permission, they can share your screen and look at your tax return to see what's going on. We can't do that here in the forum. To call support, go to the following link to get a phone number to call, during the hours that support is open.

That's not a U.S. tax question, and has nothing to do with TurboTax. You have to ask the Australian Taxation Office, or an Australian tax professional. We can't help you here with your Australian Super. Here are a couple of links on the ATO web site that might be helpful.

@emcrobbie wrote: No, line 71 is blank. Well line 71 being blank would explain why the payment is not reducing your tax due. If it doesn't appear on Schedule 5 line 71, you must not have entered it correctly. Either it's not on your tax return at all, or it's in the wrong place. If it's in the wrong place, it might actually be reducing your tax due anyway. You said that they payment amount appears on the "Deductions & Credits screen." Do you mean the summary screen with the heading "Your 2018 Deductions & Credits"? Where exactly does it appear on that screen? It should be in the "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid" section, on the line that says "Other Income Taxes," and it should be in the 2018 column, the column on the right. But other things could also be included in that line on the TurboTax summary screen. Some of the things that could be included do not reduce your federal tax due. I'm not sure this works on the Mac, but you might be able to click on the amount on that line and get a pop-up window that shows what's included in the total. It should show the amount as "Payments made with an extension". If the amount of the payment is not in the 2018 column on the "Other Income Taxes" line, what line is it on? If it's on that line, but is not labeled "Payments made with an extension," what is the description of the amount? Since the amount of the payment is not on Schedule 5 line 71, do you see it anywhere else on Schedule 5, Form 1040, or any of the other numbered schedules? And just to confirm, you are talking about a payment that you made with a federal extension, is that right? ... View more
