On Form 2210, the date paid field will not let me put in a past date but the current date. How do I put the actual past date payment?

Form 2210 actual date of payment is different from filing date

Best answer by Monikak11

To record any additional payments you made before filing, go to the Estimates and Other Taxes Paid section in the Federal return.

Select Estimated Taxes
Selected Federal Estimated Taxes for 2024 (Form 1040 ES) even though you didn't use the form.
Answer "Yes" to "Did you pay Federal estimated taxes?"
The next screen provides entry fields for quarterly estimated payments, and below that, a button labeled "+Add another payment". Click this button.
Additional entry fields will appear where you can enter the payment amount and date.

Any payments you entered in the Federal section should then be accounted for when you complete Form 2210.

I have a similar issue. Running TurboTax Premier Desktop 2025 on a MAC. I made an estimated payment for TY 2025 in January 2026. Worked through multiple questions in EasyStep but the program is stuck when I enter the "Date of Payment" The date paid is prior to April 15 but raises a error flag when I enter a January 2026 date.

Opening form 2210 I see the entry has populated row 'D' but How do I continue in EasyStep to finish this task?

Would you please explain how to navigate to "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid section in the Federal return." Do I need to manually create form 1040 ES it does not appear in the forms section of the program.
