What type of payment? Estimated tax payment, payment made with an extension, payment for taxes owed?

I made a payment directly to IRS in December via check. I estimated taxes withheld and shown on my W-2 would not cover my tax liability, so sent in a check hoping to avoid an underpayment penalty.

I could edit Box 2 on my W-2 to show the additional amount paid but was hoping there was a better way to show that payment.
