I just applied for and set up my EFTPS account. I'm trying to figure out how to pay my quarterly estimated taxes. I have an EIN number, but I can't find in the drop-down list the 1040-ES form I need. Please help!

Was I supposed to enroll as an individual or a business?





Business

What really?? Dang it! I did that but then I sent in to cancel my business number and requested an individual number instead. Why was 1040 not available on the website?





Which website?
If you are self-employed, very few of the IRS approved, perhaps none, free tax sites do schedule C. You really need TurboTax Home & Business. Your first year, I strongly recommend using a CPA or Enrolled Agent to set you up. From then on, you can probably do it all on your own.

Sorry, yes I'm doing turbotax for my tax 2014 payments, but this year i'm doing estimated taxes. I can't figure out that whole EFTPS thing, so I think I'll just send in the paper 1040-ES vouchers instead!
