You can with some states but not with federal... unless it can be done with an amended return. I suggest IRS Direct Pay. Also, just because they had some unexpected income does not mean they need to make estimated payments. I usually recommend they earn some interest on the money and just pay on 4/15.

She could go online and request a 120-day extension of time to pay without setting up a formal Installment Agreement. That gives her 4 months of breathing room. Then if the adjustment has not been made by the end of that period, she could try calling and requesting an additional extension of 60 more days. If she can't get through, then setting up a formal I/A with the minimum payment might an additional option. For some people, the fee for setting up the I/A might be a small price to pay to retain access to her $900. (She might even qualify for waiver of the fee, depending upon her income)

If he has filed the return and failed to report some income from 2020 his only recourse is an amended return. If he has unexpected income for this year 2021 he can simply send in a quarterly estimated payment by 9/15/21. Of course Abby is right (as always) if the received amount does not require the payment of any estimated tax.

Wow! If you did this for me I would wash your car for a month and replace the pine tree air fresheners, because you deserve it.

I have all the install files downloaded to our computer. This is true for all of our software. I'll upload it and post a link here, shortly. Here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tr9rbIIJzQmohLfpf9whDiAFq2Omq0tl/view?usp=sharing

He will file under 330 day rule for 2021 but then can file under Bona fide resident. He probably would have qualified under bona fide resident in country A as well. You don’t have to buy a house/ get married etc to qualify as a bona fide resident. The return doesn’t have to be filed in 2023 at all.

LOL! I only use that terminology with you guys!

All you can do is calmly explain the situation and tell her to be patient. Telling her it's a mess doesn't help.

Once the IRS has finished recalculating returns and issuing refunds, I assume the IRS will provide guidance regarding those returns that fell through the cracks, which will probably be early fall. All we call we can do is wait.
