No.

These will be reported on your W-2.

Federal Estimated Taxes would be on a 1040ES.

They should be included on your W2 in box 2. All the withholding is there, it doesn't need to be broken out as extra. Ask your employer if you're not sure it's in box 2.

Hi,

No. Estimate payments are payments you send in separately. This "extra" amount could also be adjusted by adjusting your w-4. Considered the same thing.

Still have questions?
