Hello,
Yes you should make your quarterly payments separately to the Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board separately.
You can schedule your estimated payments to the IRS online at
https://www.irs.gov/payments/eftps-the-electronic-federal-tax-payment-system
I have included information on how to pay your FTB estimated tax payments:
https://www.ftb.ca.gov/pay/estimated-tax-payments.html
You should indicate which quarter you are making the estimated tax payments for. The IRS and FTB will know that there is an extension of time to make payments. When you file your 2023 tax return , you will enter your estimated payments for each quarter there and an estimated tax penalty will not apply to your 2023 tax return.
I hope this resolves your question.
