No, you do not have to include W-2 Taxes on the estimated tax form.
- If you are reporting estimated taxes that you paid, you do not have to include any tax paid on W-2 wages.
- These tax withholdings are reported to the IRS already by your employer.
If you do actually write a check, or charge your bank account to pay the IRS, that amount will be posted to the Estimated Tax form. Estimated Taxes: Common Questions
It appears that you are incurring a penalty for not having enough taxes withheld in 2024.
- If all of your tax payments were made through payroll withholding, TurboTax computes the penalty under the assumption that your withholding was spread out evenly throughout the year.
- The only time you would need to change this is if you elected to treat the taxes withheld as paid in uneven amounts, when the tax was actually withheld.
- If you didn't want to do this, and you only had withholding from W-2 wages in 2024, you can delete the Form 2210.
- It's also not likely that TurboTax is telling you that you have an underpayment penalty for 2023, assuming that your return has already been processed.
- But the 2024 program will ask you about your 2023 income tax to see if you can avoid an underpayment penalty for 2024.
