Hi,

I am self employed and every year I need to pay estimate tax for next year. I am using desktop turbotax and just finish up everything, before I e-file, I just realized there is no estimate Federal tax worked on my return but there is estimate tax for state return. Anyone can help?

Don't know why that happened. But you can go through and try.

You can just type W4 in the search box at the top of your return , click on Find. Then Click on Jump To and it will take you to the estimated tax payments section. Say NO to changing your W-4 and the next screen will start the estimated taxes section.

Or Go to….

Federal Taxes or Personal (Deskop H&B)

Other Tax Situations

Other Tax Forms

Form W-4 and Estimated Taxes - Click the Start or Update button

Or switch to Forms mode and open the Estimated Tax Payments Options sheet. You can even select to print the estimates with just your personal info and no amounts. You can play with and tweak the amounts. You can open the individual 1040ES forms and override the amounts.

Then what I do is figure the amounts but then use the forms the IRS sends me each year and just write the amount on them. Then they fit in the window envelopes. Or you can pay directly online.

Since I am self employed, I never think about the W4 form but it works, thanks VolvoGirl, appreciate your help.
