application of quarterly estimated tax payments

Question

I made TY22 estimated payments in late March but the tax planner assumes they're for TY21 and ignores them in TY22. When I revised the date to 4/1, it included them in TY22.

Other than the transaction date, is there any way to indicate to QWin which tax year an estimated payment applies to, like an IRA contribution can be?

No.  There isn't another way to specify the tax year.  In the Tax Planner, we may use User Entered  but the simplest approach is to reset date of the early estimate payment transaction to 4/1/2022.  If you want to keep the correct date in the payment register, you may change the payment transaction to be a transfer to a holding account and issue the withdrawal for the estimate payment from the holding account on 4/1/2022.
