In April, I used form 51 and the limited amount of information I had at the time to calculate the estimated tax payment for a client. They sent in the amount (80% of estimate). In October, when I filed the return, form 51, line 2 was changed to be the ACTUAL amount, not the estimated amount for tax due. Therefore, the 80% was no longer accurate. My clients now have a decent penalty. I am concerned that the October version is what Idaho thinks we predicted back in April. However, Idaho is a state that Proseries doesn't file the extension electronically. I am not sure if client sent the entire form or if they just cut off the payment coupon. Is this something we can argue Idaho over?
In the future, I won't use the 80% of estimated method. I will use 100% of prior year method.
