I calculated that I will need to pay $50k in federal taxes in 2020. If my employer did not withhold enough federal taxes in Q1 2020, and I make Q2 and Q1 estimated tax payments directly to the IRS by July 15, will my W2 from the employer reflect the federal taxes paid directly to IRS?
The W-2 that you receive from your employer will only reflect the federal taxes withheld by the employer. Not any estimated taxes you paid directly to the IRS. Those estimated tax payments you will have to add to your 2020 tax return that you file next year.
