Quicken V:R39.23 Tax reports are not correct for State Estimated Taxes

SlideRule

Running Tax reports for year 2021, the Federal Estimated Tax totals are correct ( Includes payment made Jan 10, 2022 as a part of the tax year 2021 )

But, the State Estimated Tax Totals does NOT include the Jan 10, 2022 payment as a part of the total payments for tax year 2021.

Any advice? Maybe somewhere I can change the fiscal year for State Estimated Taxes from May 2021 to May 2022 ( Or whatever the state fiscal year is )

Thanks

This is correct. Federal taxes only include state payments actually made during the tax year.

If you haven't already, I suggest you verify the Schedule A:State estimated tax, qrtrly tax-line is assigned to the transaction: right-click on the transaction and select Tax line item assignments

Note: The tax reports do filter the transactions by date but so does the IRS.

Perhaps I posted the information incorrectly. Quicken reports payments to IRS correctly and includes the Jan 2022 payment as a part of the 2921 tax report and exports to TurboTax the IRS information correctly.
But, Quicken does not report the Jan 2022 State payments as a part of the 2021 State Tax year, and does not include the Jan 2022 payment into the state tax report for 2021. My problem is with the reports for state taxes ( Year 2021 ) and the exportation into TurboTax for year 2021 state tax forms.

The Quicken tax reports are showing the information you need to prepare your FEDERAL tax return. That includes state estimated taxes paid during calendar year 2021. Consult your tax advisor and/or see the instructions for Schedule A line 5a:

You may need to report different information on your STATE tax return

If you want to deduct the state estimated taxes due in January on the previous year's federal return, you must make the payment in December. Note that the state and local tax deduction now has a $10,000 cap.

Looks like that is what I will have to do going forward. Make the Jan Estimated Tax Payment to the State in December.

If the total of your state and local taxes paid in a year without the January payment is over $10,000, there is no benefit from moving the January payment around.

Also most people no longer benefit from itemizing deductions because of the large standard deduction.

Consult your tax advisor, not me!
