TurboTax Home & Business 2024 on a Mac desktop.
Using the EasyStep method to annualize income and report tax withholding, the dates requested by TurboTax on the tax withholding screen do not match the official IRS form or TurboTax's Form 2210.
The Tax Withholding by Quarter screen shows the following, with a text box to the right of each date range:
Enter your total withholding for all four quarters. Do not include any estimates. Enter zeros for periods for which there was no withholding.
1/1/2024 - 4/15/2024
4/16/2024 - 7/15/2024
7/16/2024 - 9/15/2024
9/16/2024 - 12/31/2024
Although the program shows 7/15/2024 and 7/16/2024, the actual date range on the IRS Form 2210 is 4/16/2024 - 6/15/2024. TurboTax takes the data entered by the user in the "4/16/2024 - 7/15/2024" field and puts it into the 4/16/2024-6/15/2024 range box on the IRS Form, causing TurboTax to erroneously report to the IRS the user possibly paid more tax than what was actually withheld during that time period.
