I paid any taxes due prior to April 15 but have not filed my Federal and CA yet. I have to still pay a small amount to CA but it still currently includes the amount that I've already paid

When you requested your extension you were supposed to pay your estimated tax due. Did you enter the payment you made into your tax return? Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes This will show up on line 17 of your Form 1040

Yes I paid both the federal and state estimated taxes due. I don’t have a problem with the federal as it shows the federal payment I made before April 15. It’s the state (California) that is not right. I saw a line item that says “local income taxes paid during extension” so I entered the amount so now my CA tax due is excluding the amount I’ve paid already. I guess for state it is not automatic like federal where it would show on line17 of form 1040? Thank you.

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.
