Change in status between filing an extension for State taxes and completing them.

When I filed an extension for my Missouri State taxes it stated that I owed $70.  So I sent a check for the $70 in with the extension I filed. However, after completing my taxes, it now states that I have a refund coming.  How can I get my $70 back that I sent in with the extension? The $70 is not included with the State refund.

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.
