How do I pay for Q2 estimated taxes now that it's a couple weeks after they were due? It's not allowing me to.

QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) automatically updates to the current quarter when a deadline has passed, which could explain why it's only showing the Quarter 3 form, @sarahjoyfields.

You'll have to manually submit your Quarter 2 payment to the IRS outside of QuickBooks. Afterward, update your records in QuickBooks to reflect this payment for your Q2 taxes.

To manually record a Q2 estimated tax payment in QBSE, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Transactions tab.
2. Click on Add Transaction.
3. Select Expense as the type.
4. Enter the payment details, then click Save when you're finished.
