Shouldn’t my accountant tell me what that estimated number is though?

I can tell you what I do.

If you have ALL of your information to me by a deadline (this year it was Friday, March 8), I will get your return done, or if there is some reason we need to extend, I will give you the best estimate I can of what you will owe so you can pay it in.

If you get me your info in the two weeks after that (in this case, March 9 - 22), I will run a estimate of what you will owe, I will over-estimate the amount to be safe and give it to you. I am also charging you extra for this.

If you get me your info between March 23 - April 8, I will file an extension for you but I am not calcualting anything, so either you tell me how much you want tm pay, or I will file it with 0 payment.

IF you get me your info after April 8, you are on your own for an extension, I'm not even looking at it right now.

If your CPA was not clear to you about his deadlines, that's on him, if you ignored them, that's on you.
