Turbotax shows I have an extension credit in "Explain my taxes" that I know is wrong. I can't find why Turbotax thinks I've paid my taxes and am now getting a refund.

    Did you file for an extension on form 4868?  

    To edit the amount you paid with an extension (including state extension) go to

    Federal Taxes (or Personal Tab 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


    For 2024 Federal Extension payments should be on schedule 3 line 10. And go to 1040 line 31.
