Electronic withdrawal of federal estimated tax payments

After the last update I noticed that when running the error check before e-filing a return with federal estimated payments to be electronically withdrawn the first quarter estimated payment now says "Installment 1 of 0.00 due 05/17/2021" and then installment 2 due on 06/15/2021 is the total of 1st and 2nd quarters amounts.  IRS did not extend the estimated tax payment due dates (as of yet) so why is ProSeries set up this way?  Won't the 1st quarter estimated payment be late?

Is it just a mistake in the Diagnostic Review or is that how it is going to transmit?  I don't want to take a chance on the client having late paid estimated tax.  This issue came up last year and there was an announcement that the estimated payments did not transmit as expected.

Do you still feel an apology is in order, when this is a pro series problem?


"Do you still feel an apology is in order, when this is a pro series problem?"

You are barking up the Wrong Tree.

"Why are you making this so difficult when you were notified of this before the 15th?"

You are overlooking that this is not Customer Support. Stop complaining to peer users. It helps to Inform. It doesn't help to harangue.

This is a peer user community on the internet. These are discussion topics. Not Tech Support and not Intuit Staffers.

It is a software issue!!!  I have 2 clients that should have had sizable (hundreds of thousands) taken out on 4/15, and after wasting many hours, today Intuit posted an alert that the problem is payments for 4/15 are being added to the 6/15 payment.  We now have to contact IRS and change the 6/15 est tax payment to the correct amount, and go onto direct pay and pay pay the 4/15 payment.
