Enter the total of all estimates made for the tax year in the
Total, or
field. The application transfers this amount to Page 1 and applies it equally to all quarters for purposes of calculating interest and penalties. To override the way the application applies the total to all quarters, enter actual amounts of estimated tax for the
1st payment
through
4th payment
fields. Once amounts are entered in any of the
Specific payments if unequal or not timely
fields, the application ignores the value in the
Total, or
field for purposes of calculating Schedule E and interest and penalties. The first four fields in the
Date Paid
column default to the respective quarters’ due dates. If the payments were not made on the estimate due dates, enter the actual dates of payment in the fields provided.
