Intuit HelpIntuitCommon questions about federal and state individual estimated payments
by Intuit•19• Updated 2 weeks ago
The following is a state-by-state guide to electronically filing estimated tax payments for individual returns. As part of our continuing effort to expand e-file availability and ensure compliance, Lacerte supports two different estimate e-filing methods - estimates e-filed with the tax return, and estimates transmitted separately using the Estimated Payment Wizard. The method you use will depend on the state you're filing.
- Estimates e-filed with the tax return are transmitted with the initial filing of the return, and cannot be sent separately. The federal 1040 uses this method.
- Estimates e-filed separately using the Estimated Payments Wizard are not sent with the tax return, and must be transmitted separately from the main filing.
Disaster area tax relief available:
Filing deadlines and estimated tax due dates may be extended for taxpayers in parts of Alabama, Alaska, California, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and IRS for taxpayers living abroad. See here for more details.
