Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@DawnC  @PattiF 

 

I'm sorry to bother you but do you know the answers to my questions or can you please direct me to where I can find the answers? I have searched this forum and Google.

 

Or should I post my questions in a few thread?

 

I live in one of the affected CA counties and plan to file and pay my federal and state taxes (and estimated federal and state taxes) on 10/16/23.

 

My questions are:

 

1) Should I set up my estimated CA (and also federal) tax payments as one combined payment (for three quarters, April, June, and September) on October 16th? Or should I set up a separate estimated tax payment for each quarter to be paid on October 16th? (Does it matter if I make three separate estimated payments, for example, of $500 on 10/16 or can I make one $1500 payment?)

 

2) How would I enter the quarterly payment dates for each quarterly estimated tax payment on my 2023 taxes? Do I enter the actual payment date of 10/16/23 for quarters 1-3, or the "regular" dates of approx 4/15, 6/15, and 9/15?

 

Thanks a lot!
