Deductions & credits

@SueJohnson there really is no such thing as the 'correct' estimated tax.  Rather, to avoid the underpayment penalties, the estimated payments have  to be at least 90% of this years' tax liability (line 24) or 100% of last year's (again, line 24). 

 

if you can't remember how you determined that $1300 in quarterly payments was better than the $546 Turbo Tax estimated, how are we supposed to figure it out!

 

at some point past year did you estimate your tax liability for 2024 to be $5200?  What is on line 24 for tax year 2024?
