This is the first year where I paid estimated taxes--both Federal and Maryland state. As you know in Premier you are prompted to enter BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE ESTIMATED TAX FIGURES. I DID. FINISHED MY FEDERAL RETURN. MARYLAND RETURN GETS STOPPED B/C I AM BEING SHOWN SCREENS I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND I'VE USED TT PREMIER FOR A LONG TIME. ISSUE APPEARS TO BE THAT BECAUSE MY ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS TO MD DIDN'T ADD UP TO THE TOTAL TAX TT HAS CALCULATED I OWE FOR MD FOR 2023 THERE IS POTENTIAL I'LL HAVE TO PAY INTEREST AND LATE FEES. BUT CLICKING THROUGH NEXT SCREENS I MAY NOT OWE ANY LATE/PENALTIES FEES IF MY LOCAL TAX FIGURE IS GREATER THAN THE TAXES TT HAS FOUND I OWE. BUT THE SCREENS IN MD FILING ARE VAGUE, INADEQUATE AND POORLY WRITTEN. I HAVE CALLED SUPPORT AND THERE WERE NO ENROLLED AGENTS OR CPAs AVAILABLE TO HELP ME IN LIVE SUPPORT. TOLD SOMEONE WILL GET BACK BUT NO DATE/TIME SCHEDULED. THIS IS POOR WAY TO HANDLE THIS. TT IS NOW SUBJECTING ME TO PHONE TAG AS ALL THEY TELL ME IS SOMEONE WILL CALL IN NEXT 48 HRS. TT SUPPORT HAS GREAT DEAL OF ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. ALL THE 'REGULAR' EMPLOYEES WHO ANSWER THE 888# CAN NEVER ANSWER A SINGLE QUESTION I'VE HAD FROM OVER DECADES OF USING TT PREMIER. IS IT ANY WONDER PEOPLE WOULD RATHER GET A ROOT CANAL THAN DO THEIR TAXES?
