In TurboTax home and business, how can I remove an extension payment from my Colorado state taxes?

I clicked on file an extension and accidentally clicked yes to sending in an extension. I went back and said I do not need to file an extension and TurboTax says it is deleting for DR 158-1. After that happens TurboTax says that I owe 0 dollars to the state and still lists that I have made an extension payment.

To remove the extension payment from your Colorado return please follow these steps:

  1. In your Colorado return, continue to the screen, A few things before we wrap up your state taxes.
  2. Click Revisit next to File an Extension.
  3. On the screen, Did You Mail Your Extension? click the No box.
  4. On the screen, Still Need an Extension of Time to File, click the Yes box.
  5. On the next screen, Enter Your Tax Paid, remove the payment amount you entered and click Continue.
  6. Continue through the screens until you're back at A few things before we wrap up your state taxes. 
  7. Under Other forms, click the Revisit box next to File an extension.

Go to the "Tax Pymt Wks" under forms. Find the "amount paid with current year extension" and delete that amount.
