I am using TurborTax desktop version to prepare 2023 return. As announced by IRS and also mentioned by Intuit earlier in 2023, the qualified CA residents can have until 11/16/2023 to pay their Q1/Q2/Q3 estimated tax . Below is what specified in the Intuit blog.
As a CA resident in one of the 55 eligible counties, I paid my first 3 quarters(2023) estimated tax in Oct 2023, but Turbotax thinks I am late and adds a penalty to my 1040. Please advise what I should do here.
Thanks.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
I suggest that you list the payments as though they had been filed by the original deadlines (or all in the first quarter) and then attach a statement saying that you actually paid these taxes on the date you did, that you are in an eligible county, and so forth. This will prevent TT from adding the penalty without you having to wait in the hope they will add that variation to the form. The statement will explain why you are doing this if anyone at the IRS reviews it and questions it.
Thanks for the response. I was thinking the same thing. It's a good suggestion to add statement. But my new question is how I can attach statement/add explanation when filing return via TurboTax? Is there any place in the TT software for me to do so and get the statement/explanation reflected in the return?
alt-click on a data field and you get a set of options including adding detail. On the statement, there is a checkbox re inclusion in filing.
