Enter the total of all estimates made for the tax year in the
Total, or
field. The application transfers this amount to Page 2 of the return and applies it equally to all quarters to calculate interest and penalties on the underpayment of estimated tax worksheet. To override the way the application applies the total to all quarters, enter actual amounts of estimated tax in the
1st payment
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 to calculate Page 2 of the return and to calculate interest and penalties on the underpayment of estimated tax worksheet.
