How to split the Balance Due and Penalty/Interest
Hi, why is Form 1040 line 37 includes line 38. In the instruction of line 37, it says "Subtract line 33 from line 24. This is the amount you owe." and it doesn't say adding line 38, but Turbo tax add line 38 automatically, which is not matching the instruction written Form 1040 line 37. Can you correct that?
Lastly, I would like to pay the Estimated tax penalty tomorrow since I don't want it to keep accumulating interest. And then, I will pay the amount I owe since I need to prepare the funds until 4/14/2025. How can I do that in Turbotax as shown in the first attached screenshot. As of the payment, should I just go https://directpay.irs.gov/ to pay Estimated tax penalty tomorrow by selecting these info as shown in the second attached screenshot? And then pay the amount I owe at 4/14/2025 by selecting the same info as shown in the second attached screenshot?
