I linked to EFTPS thru TT (premier), and responded to the questions,,,including dates and amounts for each 2020 quarterly payment.
I don't know if it was EFT{S or TT that was asking for the info.
When I printed the EFTPS confirmation it contained the bank account and registration info, but no details on quarterly payments. After I got my EFTPS sign on info and set up a password and checked the account, the quarterly payment dates and amounts were not shown as scheduled payments (or anywhere). TT did display the payments as scheduled during the interview, but I can't find where that is stored in TT during a subsequent session or looking thru forms.
EFTPS customer service said nothing had been sent from TT. But they didn't know if TT would be transmitting that info when I actually filed.
If TT doesn't do the actual payment processing for quarterly estimated payments, and TT doesn't transmit the info to EFTPS, then it's up to the taxpayer to enter the info directly into EFTPS. That's no problem, but it's not clear what, if anything TT is doing with all that estimated 2020 payment data and why I had to enter the dates and amounts. Neither duplicate or missed payments are a good thing. We need a clearly defined statement of what TT is doing or not doing in this regard. The user needs to know specifically if they must
re-enter the quarterly estimated payment details directly into EFTPS after their account has been set up and activated.
