hello..

even though I never requested any type of extension or made any payment, I see an amount in the following:

"If you made an extension payment in 2021 for your 2020 federal return, enter the amount below."

"2020 federal extension payment made in 2021" $1500

Where did this $1500 come from? How do I fix this?

thanks..

Hi Zoltanb,

I am preparing my 2021 tax return.

Where is this asking you? I can't think of where it might need that in 2021 return. Is it asking about a State extension payment? Can you post a screen shot?

Exactly what is happening to us. Concluded it is a program glitch, related to the amount of 2021 federal refund being applied to 2022 taxes. The amount matches and can not be changed when the refund amount applied is manipulated. Now the question, how to fix it? We also did not do a "2020 federal extension payment made in 2021"
