I find it really helpful that we are allowed to cue up most state estimated tax payments individually for payment using the estimated tax payment wizard.  I would like this same feature to be offered for federal estimated tax payments.  Right now the only way to electronically pay federal estimates for the next year from inside Lacerte is to file the prior year tax return.  This is NOT helpful to our clients in any way, if our clients extend their tax returns until October. There are many good reasons to extend an individual tax return until October but we need to be able to help our clients stay current on their next year federal estimates.

Now that we are getting closer to tax season for 2025, I think it is really important for Lacerte to change their program for individuals to allow each federal estimate to be paid individually using the estimated tax payment wizard.  This feature is already set up for state tax estimates.  Our clients who go on extension badly need this feature for federal tax estimates so it is easier for them to stay current.
