On 1/2/2025, I made (online, via the IRS website) what I thought was an estimated tax payment ($1800) for tax year 2024. The transaction is displayed on the IRS website as processed for tax year 2024 - but the transaction is showing as "balance payment" and not as an estimated tax payment. I have not yet filed my year 2024 federal tax return.
The $1800 is not included in the "estimated tax payments" (for 2024) displayed on the IRS website.
Question: I am unable to find a way to cancel or modify this processed transaction on the IRS website. How may I treat this $1800 "balance payment" transaction going forward. I am perfectly fine with cancelling it or applying it to year 2025 estimated tax payments. But I am unsure how the IRS interprets this so-called balance payment. I do not "owe" any payments to the IRS. Thanks for any clarification or additional details needed to help clarify.
