Tax Year Prior to 2020: 1040-ES for 2020

[martin131314]

Until the form is finalized I have no idea what my payment will be. Are you sure that you're a specialist?

[martin131314]

Here's the deal. Since I retired in 2010 I can never get my W4 filled out correctly and end up not having enough tax taken out of my retirement check each month. My sister told me about estimated tax payments. For two years the vouchers for Form 1040-es have printed out correctly but not this tax year (2019). I have been assured repeatedly that a button called, "Take me to my return", would show up on the home page of turbo tax after I sign in to my account. The button never appears so this fib has really angered me. I have called specialists several times and was told each time a date for resolving the button issue changed to a different date. At this point, I feel that I've been ripped off $140.00. I'm convinced that I'll have to go to H&R Block to start over and get those vouchers printed out.

@martin131314 If you have already filed the 2019 tax return then the Take me to my return button on the Tax Home web page will NOT be available.

To access the 2019 tax return you will need to sign onto the 2019 online account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down the web page and click on Add a state.  This will take you back to the 2019 tax return.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for the 1040-ES - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-payments/help/can-turbotax-calculate-next-year-s-federal-estim...

People who owe usually do not file this early ... but you did before the estimated payment section was operational.   So in a couple of weeks log back in ,  ADD A STATE  then complete the estimated payment section  to get the amount you seek.

I've already given up on turbo tax and started another federal return with H&R Block

The estimated tax section is available in the desktop and online editions.

I did that before and now. All I get is what I paid in 2019 and the four dates that the payments were due. There's absolutely nothing showing the four payments due in 2020.

I've already filed and then printed out my return. It is at that point I noted that no vouchers printed out. I cannot use the IRS worksheet because I have a combination of Federal withholding and estimated tax payments. I'm not an accountant and obviously have to pay H&R Block to straighten the mess out in two weeks. One of the Turbo Tax specialists said that I will never see a button on the home page called, "Take me to my return". Had such a button existed I could use Turbo Tax to print out the vouchers.
