Enter the total of all estimates made for Form 228 in the
Total, or
field. The application includes this amount on Page 1 of Form 228, Estimated payments, and applies it equally to all periods for the purposes of calculating the Underpayment of Estimated Tax Worksheet. To override the manner in which the application applies the total to all periods, enter the actual amounts of estimated tax in the
1st
through
5th payment
fields. Once amounts are entered in any of the individual payment fields, the application ignores the value in the
Total, or
field for purposes of calculating Form 228, Page 1 and the Underpayment of Estimated Tax Worksheet. The first four fields in the
Date
column default to their respective periods’ due dates and the fifth payment date defaults to the fourth period date. If the payments were not made on the estimate due dates, enter the actual dates of payments in the fields provided.
