2025 Quarterly Estimated Payments Will Be Far Too High. How Do I Make Them Lower?

  • March 30, 2025

TT generated Quarterly Estimated Payments for 2025 (Forms 1040-ES) that are much higher than they need to be.  If I pay the amounts on the Forms 1040-ES, then in April 2026 I'll be due a very large tax refund.  I don't want this to happen.

1. How do I make my Quarterly Estimated Payments lower?

2. How do I generate Forms 1040-ES that have lower amounts? Or, do I even need to generate new forms?

Please advise.  Many thanks.
