Online help says to go through the Underpayment questions and it will show up there. But I have not found it there.

If you made estimated or quarterly tax payments in 2025 toward your federal, state, or local taxes, enter them in the Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid section.

TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to estimated tax payments under Deductions & Credits.

TurboTax Desktop: Go to the Federal Taxes, then Deductions & Credits. Select Estimates and Other Taxes Paid.

Select Start or Revisit next to the type of estimated tax payment you'd like to enter under Estimated Tax Payments.
Enter the amount of estimated tax you paid at each of the quarterly due dates.
If you paid 2025 estimated taxes in 2025, you'll enter just one amount for each state or locality.

Where do I enter my estimated tax payments?

If you want to prepare estimated tax payment vouchers for next year, see Can TurboTax calculate next year's federal estimated taxes?

Hi Dawn.

Thanks for the clear instructions. I figured it out yesterday that if the Estimates and Other Taxes Paid section is not showing I have to click [ Add Other Deductions and Credits ] to display it. I have the full list of Deductions and Credits listed now and am wrapping up my taxes.

Thanks again!

The "Do It Yourself Premium" online software instructions are terrible for helping you find where to enter Federal and State Tax Estimated Payments already made. I stumbled across the Federal Section and then the instructions make all kinds of erroneous statements on how to find the State section. Here is how I finally found it:

Under Federal, Click the "Deductions & Credits" drop down menu.

Select the bottom choice of "Deductions and credits summary"

This will cause a "Your tax breaks" table to pop up.

Scroll down past this table, past the Search bar, past the greyed out section of the page with "Your Home", "You and Your Family" and about five other things.

Now you'll see "Estimated tax payments". Select Start even if you've already started it somewhere else and finally you'll see what you need for Federal Estimated Taxes and State Estimated Taxes.

Why did it have to be this hard and the Turbo Tax instructions so bad?
