I have double paid my 1Q 2022 Fed Est payment, I didn't realize that Turbo Tax would make a direct payment from my bank account so I paid the 1Q directly?

how do stop Turbo Tax from sending the 2Q Est to the IRS since I already double paid?

TurboTax never makes payments for you.    TurboTax never even knows how, when or even if you paid your tax.   Only you have the ability to make a quarterly payment --- either by doing so online or by mailing a check or money order.

Not sure how you think you set up estimated tax payments thru the TT program since there is no method to do so.    Thus did you make  the 2021 balance due payment electronically  and then also paid the 2022 Q-1 which makes you think you double paid the first quarter estimate ?   You need to figure out what you actually did.  Check your account transcript ...  https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

what you posted should not be possible because Turbotax does not make estimated tax payments. the 2 options are to print the vouchers or use IRS forms but it does not do an electronic transfer.

could the two payments have consisted of the balance due for 2021 which can be paid electronically and the first estimate which you did?  another possibility is the IRS changed your return and took the money out.

The only way to cause 2021 TurboTax to effectively make a Q1 2022 tax payment for you is to tell TurboTax to apply some or all of a 2021 tax refund to your 2022 tax liability.  TurboTax places this amount on 2021 Form 1040 line 36.

So, if you have already made two quarterly payments, for 2022, you can skip making the 2nd quarter payment.

thanks for your response, I received half dozen responses, which like yours, told me that TT never pays the estimates, which is why I made the first installment by check in the mail, but to my surprise, the bank paid from a direction from TT as well, so I have a duplicate payment. I always made direct payments myself, so this is the reason for my query and it's good to see that everyone agrees, but unfortunately I have two payments made. I am upset that I can't reach TT, or that I can't correct the situation, not as. much for the next installment in June when I obviously won't make a check payment, but don't know how to fix the final payment when I'll wind up with 5 payments, and based on how the market is going, 4 is probably too much . Thanks for your response

Still not sure how TT could have possibly made an estimated payment ... that info is never entered into the system so it cannot happen.   Are you very sure it was not the 2021 balance due that was paid and not the Q1 estimated payment?    Please check your online account at the IRS just to confirm what was paid for which tax year/purpose.     https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

Or you didn't happen to also pay it directly online at the IRS? Are both payments the same amount?  What's the description on the bank account payment?
