I payed estimated taxes using 4868 in 4th April. I am also preparing my full return in the meantime. I don't see any place to enter estimated taxes. I found some instructions in the forums. (pasted below), but I don't have the "I'll choose what I work on", so what is the alternative here?

Again, using Turbotax online premier version.

Thanks

 

Instructions from Forums:

  • Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
  • Click on Deductions and Credits
  • Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
  • Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
  • On Other Income Taxes, click on the start or update button

    To enter, change or delete a payment made with an extension request (Federal, State, Local) -

    • Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
    • Click on Deductions and Credits
    • Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
    • Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
    • On Other Income Taxes, click on the start or update button

    On the next screen select the type of extension payment made and click on the start or update button


    Or enter federal extension payment in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to federal extension payment


    The federal extension payment will be shown on Schedule 3 Line 9. The amount from Schedule 3 Part II Line 13 flows to Form 1040 Line 31

    Thanks, searching on the search bar helped. Like I said, don't have the "I will choose what I work on" option. Is the interface different for different people?

    That is only for TurboTax users who have the program installed on their personal computer.
