State tax filing

Please go back to your state estimated payments and ensure that the correct date paid was entered for each quarterly estimated payment. It might have defaulted to a date paid of 7/15/2020 for the first two estimates. Per the 2020 M15 Instructions, the due dates were 4/15/20, 7/15/20, 9/15/20  and 1/15/21. If the dates are not correct, it could trigger an underpayment penalty. Therefore, please enter the actual dates you paid the estimates. I have attached a picture below for additional guidance. 

To review your estimates entered, please follow the steps below: 

1. Open your tax return.
2. Search for estimated tax payments with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page. 
3. Click on the Jump to estimated tax payments link at the top of the search results.
4. Click on Continue next to State estimated taxes for 2020.
5. Ensure all information (especially the date paid) is accurate.
