Thanks for the info - I think I knew that. but you are proving my point. I need to tell turbo tax that i had to manually enter the information elsewhere and manually enter it again with another seven steps to get to enter it.
- Federal tab (it's the PERSONAL tab in Home and Business)
- Subtab Deductions & Credits
- "I'll choose what I work on"
- Your 2024 Deductions & Credits summary page
- Scroll down to topic Estimates and Other Taxes
- Choose subtopic Other Income Taxes and click Start or Update.
- On the "Other Income Taxes" screen, under the topic "Payments with Extension" choose the type of extension payment (Federal, state, local) and correct tax year for the payment, then Start or Update.
Point is that is one could submit e-file from turbo tax, turbo tax would know all this and have it filled in. But since they REFUSE to do the simple task, we users get to do triple work
1. manually fill in personal information again for federal land again for state
2. fill in the dollar amounts for federal and for state (each on separate web sites)
3. fill in the amounts again on turbo tax.
Very interesting suggestion/solution. The idea behind using this software is to minimize work and let the software do all this. Besides the issue of the possibility errors/typos that can occur with all this repetitive typing.
