How do I automatically debit my 2025 estimated taxes from my bank account?

I need automatic withdrawals from my bank account to pay 2025 estimated taxes.

Sorry---that is not a feature that is offered.   You can make quarterly estimated payments by mailing in the 1040ES vouchers with a check or money order or you can make payments on the IRS site with a credit or debit card, but you will need to mark your own calendar and take care of making those payments yourself.

As xmasbaby0 mentions above, this is not something you can do through TurboTax.

 

However, the IRS does offer a free service called DirectPay to schedule estimated tax payments to occur at intervals throughout the year and check on their status.

 

You can schedule a payment up to 365 days in advance. After choosing the “Make a Payment” option, on Step 3 of the application, you will be prompted to select a payment date.

 

The DirectPay service:

 

  • allow payments from either a checking or savings account from a U.S. financial institution
  • treat payments due on the date of payment as being made on time, even if the bank withdrawal actually happens later. (Payments over $1 million and payments made on weekends, bank holidays, and after 3 pm Eastern Time on a business day may be withdrawn the next business day.)
  • offer evidence of your payment through a confirmation number and optional email
  • allow scheduling of payments up to 365 days in advance
  • permit pending payments to be canceled up to 2 days prior to the scheduled payment date

Go to IRS.gov/Payments and follow their directions. You can schedule the amount, the account, and the date you want the money withdrawn. Very easy, user-friendly and dependable.
