Estimated 2025 IRS electronic payments has not been debited for all my clients

Is there a delay as far as Estimated 2025 IRS electronic payments

[sjrcpa]

it is still April 15.

I keep forgetting every year the federal estimates are transmitted only at the time the actual return is e-filed .

Had the client on extension !

I want them to install the option for EXT + ESTIMATES because I have several clients that need to do that.

Please go to the suggestions and vote for it if you like this idea.

Build the Q1 estimate into the extension payment. When return is completed apply overpayment to next year.

Also gives wiggle room if  you screwed up the extension calc.

I like that idea but my clients want to set up all 4 payments automatically. So it doesn't apply in this situation.

There is also the issue of federal estimated tax payments sent with the e-filed return NOT showing on the e-file status tab and should be FIXED to show in Lacerte.

It makes no sense why it does not show and unsettling when it gets hectic

I don't think I'd have much fun if my clients were the type who knew where they would be banking next January, and how much money they would have on deposit then.

change and uncertainty....where CPAs shine!

We e-filed and paid some 1041 taxes due on 4/11 for the payments to be drawn 4/14. 

E-files happened 4/11. Payments haven't happened yet as of 4/16.
