I submitted my 2024 Federal Tax Return on April 15 using TurboTax and noticed I made an error. Correcting the error increased the amount owed to the IRS. I sent an additional direct payment to the IRS the followng day to cover it and noted that it was related to an amended return (which I couldn't yet make since the original filing was not yet accepted).
I'm now amending my return in TurboTax. I want to include the direct payment I made to the IRS so that the program won't be requiring me to make the payment again. TurboTax is requiring me to enter a date I want the payment to be made.
When I go to the to the "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid" area - I see two options - neither of which apply - estimated taxes paid in 2024 and payments made with 2024 extension.
Is there a way to get the amended file to show the direct payment and reduce the amount owed by that amount?
OK - A VERY HELPFUL TURBOTAX REP SOLVED THIS PROBLEM:
GO TO AMEND...DEUDCTIONS AND CREDITS...ADD A DEDUCTION OR CREDIT...ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENT...FEDERAL ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENT FOR 2024...ABLE TO INCLUDE THE PAYMENT HERE AS AN ADDITIONAL PAYMENT WITH THE DATE IRS RECEIVED IT
