Payments

Prior year overpayment / Date Paid
Enter the actual dates paid. The application automatically uses default dates if date fields are blank. These dates appear on Form CIFT-620SD, Schedule K. If the payments were not made on the estimate due dates, enter the actual dates of payment in the fields provided. The
Prior year overpayment
and
1st payment
fields default to the 15th day of the fourth month after the year-end. The
2nd payment
field defaults to the 15th day of the sixth month after the year-end. The
3rd payment
field defaults to the 15th day of the ninth month after the year-end. The
4th payment
field defaults to the 15th day of the twelfth month after the year-end. The
Paid with extension
field defaults to the original due date of the return.
Prior year overpayment: Amount Paid
Enter the amount of any prior year overpayment. The
Amount Paid
field proformas from the prior year. The application transfers the amount entered to Schedule K. Do not include this amount again in the
1st payment
field.
Total, or
Enter the total of all estimates made for the tax year in the
Total, or
field. The application transfers this amount to Schedule K and applies it equally to all quarters to calculate any underpayment penalties. To override the way the application applies the total to all quarters, enter actual amounts of estimated tax for
1st payment
through
5th payment
. Once amounts are entered in any of the individual payment fields, the application ignores the value in the
Total, or
field to calculate Schedule K of the return and any underpayment penalties.
Treat calculated amounts as paid
The application proformas the estimated payments calculated in the prior year’s application to the
Calculated Amount
fields. Enter
X
in this field to transfer amounts from the
Calculated Amount
fields to the
Amount Paid
fields.
note
Amounts entered in the
Amount Paid
fields are not overwritten when
Treat calculated amounts as paid
is selected.
Specific payments if unequal or not timely: Check Number
Enter the check number of the payment. These numbers appear on Form CIFT-620SD, Schedule K.
Paid with extension: Income tax
Each time you print the extension (via File and then Print Extensions), the application:
  • calculates the extension payment amount and enters it in this field, and
  • prints this amount on Form CIFT-620SD.
Alternatively, you can overrule the calculated amount by entering the amount actually paid with the current-year extension in this field. The application then displays the new amount in black.
note
  • To delete the overruled amount and restore the original calculated amount, right-click the field and choose Delete overrule.
  • To confirm the accuracy of the overruled amount, right-click the field and choose Acknowledge overruled data. The application then disables the acknowledge functionality from the right-click menu. To restore the original amount later, you will need to enter it manually.
  • If desired, you can set a user preference to mark fields for which you overruled the calculated amounts and to list all overruled amounts in the Diagnostics window.

Extension

Extended due date
If you have selected to extend this return by choosing File and then Print Extensions, or have entered an amount in the
Balance due on extension (Force)
field, the extended due date automatically appears in this field. Otherwise, enter the date that is to be used as the extended due date in the calculation of late filing penalties and in the filing instructions. If this field is blank, the application assumes that the return was not put on extension.
Balance due on extension (Force): Income tax
If there is an amount here, the application calculates the amount of total tax using the estimated payments entered, completes the
Extended due date
field, and places the appropriate amounts in the payments section.
