Paid partial taxes when I filed for extension. Do I pay the balance owed now?

posted

it would be a good idea because penalties and interest are increasing the longer the balance due isn't paid.

you can use IRS website to make payment. the iRS will bill you for any penalties and interest.

When you requested your extension you were supposed to pay your estimated tax due. Did you enter the payment you made into your tax return? Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes

If you still owe additional tax then pay with a check or money order that you mail with the 1040V voucher or pay on the IRS site:

E-filing for 2018 returns is open until October 15, 2019; after that a 2018 return has to be printed, signed and mailed.
