I made an additional estimated tax payment besides the 4 dates given. FreetaxUSA would only allow an additional payment after Jan 15, 2026. I made the additional payment 12/31/2025.

What do I do, and where do I put the additional estimated tax payment??

    Hello again,

    The most recent date of the ones you listed would be 1/14/2026. In this case, the most recent date would be the closest date to today.

    Hello texex49! Since you made an estimated tax payment on 12/31/2025, this falls within the 4th quarter payment period (which runs from September 1 through December 31, 2025).

    To enter this payment, go to the Misc tab and select 2025 Estimated Tax Payments. When you get to the screen where you enter your estimated payments, you'll see fields for the four quarterly payment dates. Simply add your 12/31/2025 payment amount to the 4th quarter payment field. If you made multiple payments during that quarter, enter the total amount for all payments made in the 4th quarter and use the most recent payment date.

    The system groups payments by quarter rather than allowing unlimited individual entries, so combining payments made within the same quarter is the correct approach.

    Thanks for the response. One more question - when you say to "use the most recent payment date", I made payments in 12/31/2025 and 1/14/2026 for the 4th quarter. What date should I use??
