Hi,
I just realized that Turbo Tax "assumes" that the calculated estimated tax payments have been made in full.
For 2019, due to an error, only made 3 of the 4 quarterly payments (long story), but was surprised that Turbo Tax automatically fills that value in (found it in the generated pdf file).
But when preparing the 2019 tax returns, at no point did Turbo Tax (Home and Business) present a screen on estimated payments (e.g. "Here were your estimated payments for tax year 2019. Please confirm the amount paid in estimated taxes").
Not a huge deal. Got an adjusted return letter from IRS requiring the amount of the 4th quarterly payment (plus penalty and interest).
But I think TT could make this part of its accuracy check and actually prompt the user to confirm the amount of estimated taxes paid, rather than just assuming the amount from the previous year's return.
Respectfully submitted.
Remo.
