Question

I printed the quarterly state tax payment vouchers. Do I send the April 15th voucher now? Will that be seen as being late?

I sent a smaller amount before April 15th but it wasn't with the 2020 voucher that Turbo Tax determined.

You can send the payment now, but make sure you keep track of the date you mail the payment so you can enter it accurately when you prepare your income tax return for 2021.  This will ensure the payments are reported as they were made and will minimize any underpayment penalties.

 

The first estimated tax payment was due April 15th so I'd recommend making the payment as soon as possible.

you can't make a first quarter estimated tax payment.

You missed the deadline.

Next up is the second quarter estimated tax payment.

did you  mail a check?

what notation did you put on the check?

Did you mark for 2021?

Did you mark "Estimated Tax"?
