Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Did you mean 2023 taxes? or are you preparing a 2022 return?

If you made estimated or quarterly tax payments in 2023 toward your federal, state, or local taxes, enter them in the Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid section. 

Note: If your TurboTax navigation looks different than what’s described here, learn more.

1. Open or continue your return.
2. Go to the Federal section, then Deductions & Credits.
   • You can also search for estimated tax payments and select the Jump to in the search results.
3. Select Estimates and Other Taxes Paid.
4. Select Start or Revisit next to Estimated Tax Payments.
5. Choose Start next to the type of estimated tax payment you'd like to enter.
6. Enter the amount of estimated tax you paid at each of the quarterly due dates.
   • If you paid 2022 estimated taxes in 2023, you'll enter just one amount for each state or locality.

If TurboTax is showing an underpayment penalty on your return, visit or revisit the Underpayment Penalty section under Other Tax Situations and answer the interview questions. The penalty calculation may change based on your answers, including information about when your withholding was applied. In addition, if you believe you qualify for a waiver of the penalty, you can request a waiver in that section.

The IRS may reduce an underpayment penalty if any of the following apply:

• You or your spouse (if you file a joint return) retired in the past 2 years after reaching age 62 or became disabled and you had reasonable cause to underpay or pay your estimated tax late. See Waiver of Penalty in Instructions for Form 2210PDF.
• You had most of your income tax withheld early in the year instead of spreading it equally through the year. 
• Your income varies during the year. Complete Form 2210, Schedule AI, Annualized Income Installment Method PDF(found within the form).

The penalty for underpayment of estimated tax can also be removed to the extent that the underpayment is the result of a casualty, local disaster, or other unusual circumstance such that it would not be fair to impose the penalty.
