paying estimated tax

[len811]

Please explain how the estimated tax payments work.  Will the IRS automatically debit by bank account per the estimated slips in my filed return?  Normally I set up a schedule with EFTPS.  Will I see the schedule on my account there?

Those Forms 1040-ES are for your use only and are not reported to the IRS.  You can continue to use EFPTS for your estimated tax payments.

1) Got a second reply with detailed instructions on how to change the Turbo Tax estimated forms to be what I would use. I assume that means the vouchers are filed.

2) Under Print Center, if I select "All official forms required for filing," get estimated vouchers. I assume that means the vouchers are sent.

My guess is you are correct but how do you know for sure?

The Form 1040-ES were NOT sent to the IRS by TurboTax.  Only you can print and mail the Form 1040-ES with your estimated tax payment.  If you do not use the Form 1040-ES, the IRS does not even know they exist.
