Quarterly
“I accidentally made my quarterly estimated tax payment under my personal SSN instead of my business EIN, how do I get the IRS to fix this?”
When an estimated tax payment is posted under a personal Social Security number instead of a business EIN, the main issue is often how the IRS applies the payment and whether it can be matched to the correct taxpayer account. The answer typically depends on the entity type, how the payment was submitted, and whether the return has already been filed. In many cases, the IRS transcript, payment confirmation, and the business’s filing history help show where the payment landed. If the payment relates to a pass-through entity or sole proprietorship, the account setup can also affect how the correction is handled. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
