Deductions & credits

How did you schedule the 4th quarter payment in December?   But the payment didn't come out of your bank account until January?   Don't you pick a date to pay it?   

In addition the answers above I always pay my state estimate in December 2021 so it counts as a 2021 state tax paid if you itemize deductions on federal.   Otherwise a Jan 2022 payment will be a federal deduction when you do your 2022 return a year from now.   So if you pay a state estimate in January don't forget to also add it to your next years federal return.
