Can I make a 1 time estimated tax payment? I received a significant bonus on 2/28/18 in which federal taxes were not withheld. . How do I do this on turbo tax?

[VolvoGirl · Accepted solution]

No you need to use a 1040ES estimated slip not a 1040 V.  But I don't see the 1040ES for 2018 on the IRS website yet, just for 2017.  So go directly to the IRS to pay it.  See screen shot

Thank you!

[Jordan-Curtis]

Thank you both.

So are you saying I don't need to file the 1040ES? I just go on the IRS site and make a payment? Nothing more?

[HelenC1]

Yes, that's it. Just print the receipt of your payment and keep it for your 2018 tax preparation.

Yes, you can. To make a one-time estimated tax payment.  Use the IRS website. Direct Pay (Direct Debit) is free.

• To pay, see Payments | Internal Revenue Service. 

There are options to pay by mail, also.

• If you pay by check or money order, you'll need to include form 1040-ES.  Scroll down to the end for the coupons.
