I will have dividend and capital gain income this year and filing separate I will not have as many deductions so I anticipate a Federal Tax bill and would like to send $ now to try to avoid  penalties when filing.  How can I do this?

Or you can pay on the IRS website.  Be sure to pick 2016 1040ES payment
