How to report quarterly estimated FIT paid? Seeker 04-13-2007

 I hope someone will kindly help me with a question. My
husband and I file jointly. He is still working and last
year I drew Soc. Sec. Since we didn't withhold anything, we
ended up having to make a substantial payment with the
return. I'm just thankful they didn't sock us with a
penalty. So now this is the first year we've ever had to
send checks to the IRS on a quarterly basis. The IRS didn't
send me any form to submit with our FIT tax return allowing
for the payments. Now I am using Turbo Tax to do our return
and I don't see a place to report the payments.

Can anyone tell me how to go about reporting the payments on
Turbo Tax?

Many thanks in advance.
Sharon

It's a "keep for your records" form where you list the
quarterly payments you made for the past tax year.

You can always go to http://www.irs.gov, and download Form
1040-ES. This not only has a worksheet to determine how much
your payments should be, but also includes four numbered
vouchers. You should fill out #l -- due April 17 -- and
send it off promptly with a check for the correct amount.
The 1040-ES will also provide the correct address.

Once you've sent the first payment, the IRS will respond by
sending you preprinted vouchers for the 2d, 3d and 4th
payments.

Sorry, not familiar with TT. On TaxWise, we could either
schedule a direct w/d from TPs checking via ACH for the
first periodic payment - thereby triggering the voucher
supply ... or we could simply bring up Form 1040-ES, and
either fill it in, or simply print it off with the TPs info,
and separately provide the TP with a recommended payment
amount per period, based on the income involved.

Hope this helps.

I've used Turbo Tax and it has an Estimated Tax option to
print 4 quarterly 1040ES forms. You may also just download
the form off of the irs.gov website.
