I would like to suggest improvements for the 2026 tax year. Not sure if this is the proper place to pass along issues that can be solved. 

I'm newly retired and take SS and raid my retirement and brokerage accounts when needed. Last year, I took out money from a brokerage account in the last week of the year. For some reason, TT wants to assume and passes to the tax authorities that this amount was evenly spread through the year as earnings when in fact it is technically earned only on the date it is taken out. In my case December of 2025. This leads to a penalty because they think i didn't report income since January 2025. The brokerage does not take out withholdings, so it is incumbent on me to report estimated income. 

If I am to make estimated payments on my withdrawals in 2026, why isn't there a TT mechanism for me to print out the estimated forms and have it recorded such that it can be applied when TT 2026 is published? 

Please forward to senior management in charge of programming.

I may have done something wrong, but TT treated my entire withdrawal as income on the 2210 and State 2210A instead of just the gain from the sale. This caused a significantly higher penalty since i paid the tax in April.

If you have not already filed, you can delete Form 2210 and go back through that section in TurboTax again.

To do this, you can use the steps listed below.

If you are using TurboTax Online you can delete a Form 2210 as follows:

1. In your left panel of your TurboTax screen click on "Tax Tools"
2. And then Click on "Tools"
3. Click on "Delete a Form"
4. Scroll through your list of Forms
5. Click the garbage can next to "Form 2210"

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can delete a Form 2210 as follows:

1. Click on "Forms" in the upper right of your TurboTax screen to switch to "Forms Mode"
2. In your left panel scroll down and look for "Form 2210"
3. In your right panel at the bottom of Form 2210, click on "Delete Form"
4. Click on "Yes" to confirm the deletion.

To get back to those screens in TurboTax to re-enter your information you can:

1. Click on Search at the top right of your TurboTax screen
2. Type underpayment penalty in the search box and Enter
3. Click on the link that says Jump to underpayment penalty

Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.

If you took a 1099R withdrawal from a retirement account like a IRA or 401K it is all taxable.  For a regular brokerage acct 1099B then only the gain is taxable.

Thank you,

While using TT Deluxe desktop I found the software only considered the income I "earned" throughout the year instead of the withdrawal in December. It applied the earnings across the entire year in column d (1/1 to 12/31). I found no opportunity to tell the sw that earning were unevenly applied. This was also carried forward to Indiana 2210A where the penalty was applied.

There was no column that considered income in the last quarter only. line 1 says "Indiana adjusted income for each period" but the periods were accumulated not separated into quarters. 

As a matter of fact, it added my received earnings as total income instead of the capital gains only. (It used AGI as the basis.)

@philler in the step x step process, under "other tax situations", there is "under payment penalties".  Follow the questions and you'll want to use the "annualized income method".

What you are asking for already exists.
