How do I report a payment made through "IRS direct pay" from our bank account to cover tax due for end of year ROTH conversions?

    That payment would be entered into your tax return as an Estimated Payment.  

     

    See the information in the following TurboTax help article for directions to enter the amount:

     

    Where do I enter my estimated tax payments?

    I have the same situation and question, but I'm following up to ask whether I could enter my direct fed & state tax payments under the "Other Income Taxes Paid in 2025", "Withholding not entered on a W-2 or 1099".  When I do that, the outcome seems to be the same - no penalty.  But the guidance of AnnetteB6 makes me wonder if I am doing something wrong 😞

    what "situation" are you referring to.  when you make a payment to IRS you identify the payment type which should be estimated tax and then enter it on your return as such.  why are you trying to classify it as withholding?
