topic Do you see this screen? in Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I did my taxes for 2017 on turbo tax and I printed out stubs to pay 2018 taxes through out the year. Will I get charged again for the 2018 year if I use turbo tax?

Sorry.....looks like my question did not finish. Let me restate. I know that did not make sense, what I meant was I payed 2017 taxes and then printed the 502 dep stubs to pay ahead for the coming 2018 year.....I paid $182 through out 2018. So the question should have been....if I over paid would state taxes catch it and see that I paid ahead for 2018 year and then I wouldn't be charged for state because I paid 2017 and 2018?

Hello. I edited my answer. Yes, definitely they'll catch it and yes you'll get credit for it. Let me know if I answered your question. If I didn't, please give me some more details. Thank you!

Thank you....I guess I will go ahead and pay it again for now only because it is hard to go up against the state. You answered great and I appreciate it! Wondering if when I do pay if I should just let the state of md bill me instead of paying electronically? What do you think?

You didn't enter the estimated payments into your tax return? Did you check your return and see if they are included?

Well I didn't submit the ones I am working on for 2018......

wally8313 — Wed, 05 Jun 2019 04:24:27 GMT

Well I didn't submit the ones I am working on for 2018.....have not put them through yet. I filled everything out correctly and did not want to submit yet......but an expert checked and everything is good to go.

If you haven't filed yet then enter the payments you made...

If you haven't filed yet then enter the payments you made. Or did you?

You can type estimates paid in the search box at the top of your return and click Find and it will give you a link to Jump To it.

OR
To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January for the prior year, go to
Federal on left or at top
Deductions and Credits at top
Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
Estimated Taxes - click the Start or Update button

You enter state estimated payments under the federal side (because they can be a federal itemized Deduction). THEN after you finish filling out the estimates under Federal you need to click on the State Tab at the top and start the state return over for it to update.

Be sure to pick the right state from the drop down box.

No I didn't put it through as of yet and no I didn't know...

wally8313 — Wed, 05 Jun 2019 04:24:29 GMT

No I didn't put it through as of yet and no I didn't know you could put your estimated payment info down so I will do that.....thanks for that information! But so you put it through the federal because it gets transferred over to state anyway correct?

Yes you enter it under the federal Deductions & Credits....

VolvoGirl — Wed, 05 Jun 2019 04:24:31 GMT

Yes you enter it under the federal Deductions & Credits. Then start State over to update state.

K.....thanks so much I appreciate that!

Let me know if you can get back into your return and add the payments.

Also I see where you put the info but not sure where to edit. I see paid 2018 with extension but that wasn't an extension it was just kind of pre paying 2018 taxes so which option do I pick?

wally8313 — Wed, 05 Jun 2019 04:25:07 GMT

They have different payment options which I really do not see any that may apply to me. When I pre paid for this year's taxes you think they would have an option like pre payment of 2018 taxes with stubs 502dep. Was it considered an extension?

Sorry 2018.....not this year.

wally8313 — Wed, 05 Jun 2019 04:25:11 GMT

Sorry 2018.....not this year.

Yeah I went to that but once I get in there are various options none of which fit me. Mine wasn't an extension. What to choose once I am in there?

wally8313 — Wed, 05 Jun 2019 04:25:44 GMT

I got it.....I believe I went into income taxes paid but okay....I am very thankful! Could not have done it without your help and yes I feel really stupid.

Yes, if you paid your 2017 tax and then made estimated tax payments, to the state, for 2018, the state will "catch it" and you'll get credit for the $182 payments. You basically have an "account" with your state and any money you pay via payroll and estimated taxes gets recorded and then as you do your income taxes, the money gets applied.

If you didn't enter your 2018 estimated state taxes, on your 2018 income tax return, you'll probably get a letter from the state that the amount reflected on your income tax return does not match their records. I live in IL and when I got my letter, it asked if I wanted to get a refund or apply the over payment to 2019.

If you owe taxes, they'll apply it to the amount owed and send you correspondence stating that, so you could correct your tax records.
