For purposes of computing the estimated tax penalty, yes as a first quarter
payment.

I have about a $3000 federal overpayment in 2008, which I will
apply to my 2009 estimated taxes once I file my 2008
taxes which I plan to do before October 15.

My question is when is this payment credited? Can
it count as being made on April 15 (since the
funds were already in the Treasury's possession
at that time), or must I count it as a late payment,
made on the actual 2008 filing date?

If I fill out form 2210 for 2009 which date should
I use? Is it advantageous to file before June 15
so that payment can be credited for that date?

Thanks,

Steve
