Are you asking about entering the estimated payments you made during 2023? Where do I enter my estimated tax payments made in 2023?
Or are you asking about preparing estimates for next year?
Estimate next year's federal taxes
Estimate next year's state taxes
Reasons to pay estimated taxes:
1.) When you're self-employed, federal, state, and Social Security taxes aren't taken out of the income you receive. Instead of paying the entire amount you owe in April, setting up estimated tax payments gives you the flexibility to make four smaller payments during the year.
2.) There are other types of income where taxes also aren't withheld. You'll want to consider making estimated tax payments when you receive significant income from the following sources:
- Alimony
- Dividends
- Earnings from a business
- Gains from the sale of stock or other assets
- Interest income
- Rental income
