Prompt for year of tax payment with wrong year

EmKay

I have a vague recollection of either having asked this before or seeing that someone did, but I cannot remember or find the post.

When entering my estimated tax payments (state/fed) for 2023 on 6/12/2023, I get a prompt asking, "Is this transaction a payment of taxes for year 2022?"

Should it not be prompting me, at this point, if they're for 2023?

And - if I say no - how do I correctly indicate that they're for 2023, or do I not have to?

Hello @EmKay,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. That prompt is just to determine if you're making a tax payment for last year or an estimated tax payment for the current year. Per the Quicken Help article, when tracking estimated tax payments, you would want to create a new category, such as Fed Est Tax and assign it to Form 1040:Federal estimated tax, qrtrly.

I hope this helps!
