Taxpayer making estimated payments via direct debit. I can select date on the state but can only do April 18 on the federal. TP not confident payment will be made in a timely manner and wants to set up for an earlier date. Why can't this be done for the federal if we can do it with the state?
you should be able to chose whichever day youd like on federal, as long as its 4/18/22 or earlier..Ive been setting them for 4/10/22 all week....make sure youre typing 2022 (I keep finger flubbing and entering 2021)
I can do it for the payment due date but I do not see a place to change the date for the federal estimated payment (although, state lets me pick a date).
In theory that's a great idea. However TP in in his 90's and no family (or me) in the area to set this up. It just seems strange that Proseries allows you to enter an earlier date for fed payment due and state pmt due and state estimated pmt but not federal estimated.
I won’t let my clients use ProSeries to make the payments. Check the threads on this. ProSeries effed up the 1Q 2020 payments. The payments also were effed up for 1Q 2021. Some question who is responsible for that one. Tell your client to just do it online. You can pay today. Once you get receipt, who cares when government pulls it out.
tax years 2019 and 2020 were a wonky years due to the due date changes, the programming sucked and got stuff all screwy...I use it often for my elderly clients, its always worked great.
