1040 ES - State Quarterly Payments
Greetings, All...can someone please confirm the proper way to schedule quarterly estimated payments. There is a check box located near each payment. If memory serves me, there is also verbiage asking that the box nearest the next closest payment be checked. I normally only check the box for the next closest payment. What I've found is that the remaining payments are not pulled automatically for the client. As a preparer, do I need to go in prior to each due date and check the "next closest" or can I check all the boxes when I file the return by April 15. If I check all the boxes, will the program pull the amounts due on their due date or will they all be pulled at the same time, on or about April 15?
I recognize some prefer to have their clients pay using a coupon or online themselves...but I'm trying to understand what the program requires to have them paid on their due date automatically.
Appreciate anyone who has knowledge of this.
