Deductions & credits

@AskTxBrenda  Thank you for your quick reply.

 

I want to confirm I went to my online IRS account to see how the checks were allocated.  I also used those amounts to get check copies from my bank.  That's how I was able to determine my bookkeeper didn't write a year on some of them.

 

I want to make clear I made no prepayments.  I didn't file any extensions either.  I'm only speculating as to how to report the payments that were made in the returns I've yet to file.  I can't find any Turbo Tax posts or IRS publications on how they handle late payments made without extensions and that were posted to the wrong year.

 

Unfortunately, I don't qualify for the installment agreement.

 

Sorry to ask again but can I report the payments I've made on my income tax even if I'm filing late AND the payments themselves were made late or not?

 

Do I have to wait for the IRS to adjust it for me?

 

I want to know for at least 2019 before I continue self-preparing 2020, 2021, and 2022.

 

Thank you again.
