I sold my rental property in New Jersey on August 31st. The money didnt come into my account till a day or two.

I am trying to pay estimated taxes on the state of NJ website. Should the payment be applied to 3rd quarter or 4th quarter?

Thanks.

Depends on your state ... if there is a 3 day hold where the sale could be cancelled then 4th quarter.

Never heard of this rule for sale of property before. 

 

Any links to support this?

If there was no mandatory hold then it is a third quarter sale ... it could be the Direct deposit took a day to clear the bank.  

 

Call your real estate agent or the lawyer/closing company and let them explain why you did not leave the closing table with a check in your hand or a direct deposit to your account.
