2021 Form 2210 Calculation Error

Please also note that the calculation of the line 14 tax on 2210AI appears to be incorrect assuming the QD & CG tax worksheet is being used to calculate it.

I have the same problem, it is picking up Qtr 1 & 2 for Qtr 1, the other numbers are OK.

The good news is I'm earning all kinds of badges since I have had to spend so much stinking time browsing for a possible solution to this problem.  It seems like Form 2210 has big problems every year.  And, as others have noted, the auto-notification sign-up does not work.

I have the same issue.  It's funny they can't even get an e-mail sign up to work!!  That scares me.

In addition to the Form 2210 errors, when I print out form 2210 I get two page 3's each having partial data.  Anyone else have this issue?

I also get two page 3's, but the second page is not not filled in.

The same, 2 pages #3 with the second copy not filled.

On my first page 3, Part II is not filled out.  On my second page 3, Part I is not filled out, but Part II is filled out.

Tony, I wasn't able to reproduce the problem with Line 11 columns b+c being swapped.

 

But, TT has another error related to this form that may be your issue.  In the step by step interview they are giving the wrong dates for tax withheld.   TT has the dates for tax withheld incorrect for the 2nd and 3rd payments.  They have the withheld dates as 4/16 - 7/15 (3 months) and then 7/16-9/15 (2 months) in the Step by Step interview process but the dates on the actual form are 4/16 - 6/15 (2 months) and then 6/16 - 9/15 (3 months).  I think this could give the appearance of being swapped.  The dates on the actual form are correct and should be used for the tax withheld calculation.    Hope this helps.

As of 2/24/2022, the error described below (and by others, such as EdRaleigh in his excellent post) has NOT been corrected.

2021 Form 2210 - Actual withholding tax method.

Please look at the Tax Withholding by Quarter input sheet under Other Tax Situations/Additional Tax Payments/Actual Withholding. The TT data input sheet asks user to input the amount of actual withholding tax for the second quarter period 4/16/2021 - 7/15/2021.  This period is incorrect. The correct period is 4/15/2021 - 6/15/2021. Likewise, the third quarter payment period should be 6/16/2021 - 9/15/21. Should be a relatively easy fix. Otherwise, a customer relying on TT input criteria might understate its estimated tax penalty for the second quarter of 2021.

Form 2210, Part III, Line 11(a) calculation.

There appears to be a programming logic error.  Any overpayment from 2020 that was applied to 2021 estimated tax payments is treated as a 2021 estimated tax payment made on April 15, 2021.  See 2021 Form 2210 Instuctions, page 4. However, TT is subtracting from that overpayment any amount paid by taxpayer with respect to its 2020 income tax liability with the 2020 Form 4868 extension of time to file, which was required to be filed by 5/17/2021. This reduction is incorrect in my view given the purpose of Form 2210 and IRS instructions. In accordance with 2021 Form 2210 instructions, which were finalized by the IRS and released January 28, 2022, the full amount of any 2020 overpayment applied to 2021 should be included in Line 11(a).  Again, appears to be a relatively easy fix, but even apparently simple fixes to a layman are often not so simplistic from a programming perspective.

Ed, I agree. My earlier post below is in line with your observations.

2021 Form 2210 Calculation Error

I am having the same problem.  In 2020, the first payment was due in July and it was for the total amount from the first and second periods.  In 2021, the first payment was due in April so it  should only be for the first period, but it appears the program is still pulling the amount due through the first and second periods.

 

Frustrating, after waiting weeks for the update.

2021 Form 2210 Calculation Error

Same problem.  Mine appears to be pulling from line 22c.
