I filed for Federal extension for 2020 using an IRS downloadable form 4868 and mailed it with a $200 payment. I entered this payment in Turbo Tax in Other payments and Credits an it appears on Schedule 3 line 9, but I do not see form 4868. New Jersey requires a copy of 4868 with the return. How do I include form 4868 with my NJ state e-file ?

If you have a Federal extension, your NJ extension is automatic also.

You don't have to include any Form with your e-Filing.

Nor can you do that.

PS anybody can get form 4868 right now from IRS website and put their name on it, so including it now is meaningless.

When e-Filing,

"fill in the oval (regarding extension) on the front of your NJ-1040."

Presumably, TurboTax will handle this for you since it knows you requested a federal extension.

If you print a paper copy of NJ for your records,

you should see, on Page 1, a mark next to the line "Federal extension filed."

Always print a copy of your completed tax return(s) for your records, and review it carefully before e-Filing.
You will need it if you are audited by the IRS, or to amend if a TurboTax update changes your return or for any other reason,

AND, to find your AGI next year.

Hello!

Was this question resolved?

if I e-filed form 4868 and want to e-file NJ state return, how do I inform NJ about form 4868. Is there a way to include it in my e-file?
