    You should have made the estimate payment as part of the extension payment.  You can't file e-file estimated tax payments separately from the 1040.

    @Just-Lisa-Now-   Congrats….  CA  wins the award for the most convoluted PS process for sending $$ with a 3519… only took 3 tries and a 1/2 hour to figure it out 

    If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround

    I managed to get 2 of them to EF a few weeks ago, it was tough, but it finally worked.

    I gave up on the 2 I had this week and just went to FTB Webpay and did it, what a big mess PS makes it!!
