Tax Year 2022 Early Estimated Tax Payment

[plate58]

I made 3 early estimated 2022 tax payments in EFTPS.  I went into EFTPS and made  1 more 2022 Tax year payment in March 2023.  

 My March 2023 EFTPS entry does reflect the payment was for "Estimated 1040ES, Tax Period 2022".

I am getting conflicting information on whether my March Tax payment count for the 2022 as taxes paid  or next time (2023 year)?  I am told tax payments in 2023 do not count for Tax year 2022?

The last date to pay estimated taxes for tax year 2022 was on January 17, 2023.  Any estimated tax payments after that date will be for tax year 2023 up through January 16, 2024.

With EFTPS you select the applicable tax year,

You can make a late estimated tax payment.

Your online account at IRS.gov, if you are willing to open one, will show your payments.

OR

log back on to EFTPS.gov and review your records there.
