🔍 Federal/State estimated tax payments
This guide explains how to enter and reconcile Federal and state estimated tax payment due dates in SureFire.
⚠️ Before You Begin
Before you begin, make sure you have the estimated tax payment information needed to complete your return.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Confirm the Federal due dates
The Federal payment due dates are based on the calendar or fiscal year of the business as listed on page 1 of the return. The total will be transferred to page 2 of Form 1040 or 1040 A and to Form 2210 or Form 2210 F, Underpayment of Estimated Tax.
Step 2: Enter Federal payments and handle late payments
If the taxpayer made Federal estimated tax payments, but did not make them all on time, fill in the File/Pay entry with the date they will file and/or pay the tax due. Form 2210 will calculate the penalty based on the regular method.
Step 3: Confirm the state due dates
The state due dates have been calculated the same as the Federal. If the state has different due dates, disregard the date suggested. If payment 1 was paid on or before the date due for payment 1, enter the amount for payment 1, etc.
❌ Common Errors
If your state due dates differ from the Federal, be sure to use the correct dates rather than the suggested ones.
