Frequently Asked Questions

Estimated Tax Payments

Questions on the vouchers themselves:

" I decided on my own to reduce (or increase) my payments, do I need new vouchers? "

No new vouchers are necessary, simply cross out the amount and enter what you are paying.

" I discovered that I skipped a payment so I am going to double up the next payment. Can I send it all in one and what do I do with that skipped voucher?"

Yes you can send it all with one voucher – consider these vouchers as deposit tickets. If you skip one, you can discard the unused voucher and don’t worry, the tax authorities are not going to be looking for you because you did not send them anything for a given quarter.

"You (Hoffman) provided me with payment vouchers and envelopes and now the IRS has sent me vouchers that they claim are scan ready. What should I use?"

You can use either one. For myself, I prefer to use the vouchers that I prepared and I shred and discard the government forms. If you received state vouchers, we like to use their envelopes so please give us that package with your tax materials.
