2021 Estimated tax payments

[Cindy8]

I just moved my client over to the 2021 program and noticed that all 2020 extension payments are moving over to 2021 as additional estimated payment for 2021.  Is there going to be a fix for this?

I don't know if there are going to be any fixes, but for what it's worth, someone else posted the issue last night.

Lacerte had a notice about this.  The portion of your overpayment from 2020 to 2021 may be split.  Part may show as an overpayment from 2020 to 2021 in the software with the remainder (portion paid on May 15th with extension) shown as an "other payment" in the software as this amount was paid after April 15th.  Therefore the portion shown as an overpayment will be the amounts that were paid by April 15th and any excess is shown as an "other payment"

This jives with how IRS has it recorded in their system, per the couple of notices I've seen for 2020 tax returns.
