Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You can leave the estimated tax penalty as reported on Form 1040 line 38 blank and the IRS will calculate the penalty for late payment of tax for you. However, you can also enter the penalty to avoid having to deal with it later. Since the entry is optional TurboTax has chosen to estimate the penalty and enter the amount due.
