Question

Payment

I made a direct payment on the IRS website and clicked the estimated tax option instead of the tax return for the payment. Will it still go towards my taxes owed for my Federal taxes?

Not if you picked estimate for 2020.

So where does that money go?

To next year's 2020 return so don't forget to enter it on your tax return next year as an estimated payment.

 

Did you pick these settings when you paid?
