Prepare estimated tax payments for extensions

If you're extending a 1040 return but still need to calculate and/or pay estimates, do the following.
  1. Open the client and go to the
    Est
    screen in the Payments folder.
  2. In the
    2025
    Estimates — Calculated section, use
    Form 1040-ES -
    2025
    declaration
    to choose how you're calculating the payment amounts.
  3. Complete the
    Est
    screen based on the code you've chosen.
You'll need to make sure you include the estimates with the extension when printing or e-filing. If you're paying via electronic funds withdrawal (EFW), you'll also need to set that up before you e-file.
