Why is state tax due in quarterly payments? i want to pay in one lump sum but can't find this as an option (Virginia)

[VolvoGirl · Accepted solution]

Those are NOT for your state tax due.  Those are estimated prepayments for NEXT year so you don't owe again.  They might have printed out if you got a one time large income this year. Like if you took a IRA or 401K distribution. You can ignore them. You might want to adjust your withholding at work so you won't owe too much next year. 

You should have a separate payment voucher for the tax due.  Or you set it up to come out of your bank account.
