2025 desktop premier version calculating sum of 23 estimated payments incorrectly

83490749707rn — Sun, 07 Dec 2025 03:54:55 GMT

I made no quarterly payments for tax year 2025. What i did was make 23 separate and individual payments, and I entered each of these into the desktop premier version estimated tax screen. They all took but it only totals the first 10 entries. So where I paid in roughly $5000.07 it is showing a total of $1041.

Please fix this!!

Try entering the total paid for each quarter.

Or I would try enter the total for each month, so 12 entries. Or add the first and second payments and enter them with the second date, and so on for each 2 or 3 etc. .......

the dates only matter if you have a penalty calculation on line 38 of your 1040, and even then IRS will recalculate it based on the payment record they already have. Hence the suggestions to bundle them monthly or quarterly likely gets to the right place, if this limitation remains thru all the upcoming software updates.

but why are you paying IRS 23 times when you only need to do it 4 times. that's interest you could be earning for on each installment you're making before the quarterly deadlines. Intuit probably didn't think someone would make so many estimated tax payments. I wouldn't keep doing this in 2026. Also see if you can increase withholding to get the same effect.

this issue was on my mind, did a test and also got a bad total limited to 14 payments out of 24 I put in (see below Tax Payments Worksheet - total just doesn't add up to the detail). I checked back to 2024 version and it was handled fine and even tho it's an unusual frequency to pay ES that's up to the taxpayer and Turbotax should reliably total what was input.

@GabiU is this a bug on the list to fix?

@baldietax I was able to confirm your findings in TTD Premier.
@83490749707rn Were you able to get the correct total by combining your payments by quarter? That would be the workaround for now. Let us know in the replies below.
