Are you saying that you filed your return already but did not enter the estimated payments you made during the year? I would wait to see if the IRS credits the payments before filing an amendment. When did you file your return?
No i didnt pay until after i filed and determined what i owed.
ie i filed in February and that determined that i owed $7000 in federal taxes.
since then i have made various payments to irs.gov that total $7k.
I guess will my tax return link up with my irs.gov payments?
Yes, if you used the IRS website to make the payments, I would assume that you were pretty much forced to indicate that the payments were for 2023 tax year.
HERE is a link to "Your IRS Account" which is a way for you to find all the information you need.
What you did is SOP - Standard Operating Procedure.
Unless IRS finds an error on your tax return, you will not hear from them again.
