How to pay California taxes online, make a tax payment online to the California Franchise Tax Board.

Hello. I am newly retired and my only taxable income for the next 10 years will be high yield savings and CD accounts interest, and sporadic Roth conversions. Am I assuming correctly that I have to pay taxes on the HYSA and CD interest each quarter? Will I be penalized if I make unequal estimated taxes to the IRS and/or to California?

Hi, for "Payment Type" I selected "Bill Payment" instead of "Tax Return Payment" is that a problem?

[@BITW_Guzman]

If the balance was the same as what u received on the letter no.

On payment type.. how do i know which one o click? i owe the state money. So which option would i choose? 540 or tax return payment option? thank you

[@juliemerrillcpa]

If it's for 2023 taxes due, select Tax Return Payment. If you are making a payment on extension, select Extension payment, for estimated quarterly taxes for 2024,select Estimated tax payment 540-ES

@@juliemerrillcpa Thank you so very much.

To put this to practice. Say I file my tax return. Then I make tax payment using the "Tax Return Payment" option?

[@juliemerrillcpa]

Yes, would be paying original payment due

[@vincents1535]

For “select payment type” where would that fall into if I have to make a payment for a form 3588

[@juliemerrillcpa]

Make sure you are paying under the business and not the personal section. It will vary by state. In California, they call it a Franchise Tax or Original Return

Do you need to create a profile to pay your CA filed taxes, I owe.

[@juliemerrillcpa]

No, you don't have to create a profile. You can pay and they just ask you for your info

Hello, Is it an issue if we click the option "estimated tax payment" instead of the "tax return payment"? What to do if I did that by mistake

[@juliemerrillcpa]

Yes, it will apply it to the wrong year

[@MS-ei5cm]

@@juliemerrillcpa I selected the correct year, 2022 but just the payment type was selected wrong: "estimated tax payment" instead of the "tax return payment" Time 1:40 in your video. The year selection was correct as I owed that much for 2022, still, it will not be considered paid?
