Hi,
Looking for some expert advice as I couldn't find a directly related answer on the forum yet.
1. I am filing return as resident alien this year (last year was first time and non-resident).
2. I have prepared my tax returns through Turbo Tax and it shows me some Tax Due for both Federal (say $1000) and State California (say $500).
3. My kids don't have ITIN, so I am going to apply for it this year along with the returns (hence paper filing). I have put dummy ITIN ([removed]) in the form and plan to edit it to "APPLIED" after printing the forms as suggested in the forum.
4. I want to pay the Tax Due amount online but file a paper return.
5. As I understand, it is possible to use the IRS direct Pay option (Reason for Payment - Balance Due). Similar web portal exists for California Franchise Tax Board as well.
6. My question is: once I pay $1000 through IRS direct Pay and $500 California FTB web portals, how do I update the same in Turbo tax?
7. My current thought is to use below section for the same.
Federal taxes -> Deductions and Credits -> Estimates and other taxes paid -> Estimates -> Federal Estimated Taxes for 2023 (Form 1040ES) -> Additional Payments -> $1000
Federal taxes -> Deductions and Credits -> Estimates and other taxes paid -> Estimates -> State Estimated Taxes for 2023 -> Additional Payments -> $500
8. However, I am not sure if this is correct as this section seems to be applicable for Estimated Quarterly payments (1040ES).
9. Is there any other way to update the taxes paid through online portals on TurboTax so that Federal and State Tax Due is shown as 0?
10. I want to avoid generating "Form 1040-V Payment Voucher" as I intend to pay the taxes online.
Please suggest.
