Found my complete note on it.
The state estimates error was fixed in a Jan 6, 2026 update. I didn't update until Jan 8, 2026. The update didn't fix my existing return BUT if you transfer 2024 again into a new return it works right now. I updated my Windows Desktop Home & Business program and started a NEW return and transferred from 2024 again and my 2024 state estimated payments did NOT go to Schedule A. My first 2025 return still shows all my 2024 state estimates (April, June, Sept & Dec) on Sch A.
UPDATE…..Today 1/8/26 I got an email from TurboTax Support saying to update the program and "Please go through your federal review/smart check portion of your software".
So I went through the Review and eventually came to a screen that asked…How much of your 2024 estimated state taxes did you pay in 2025? and it had my total 2024 state estimated payment amount listed. I changed it to zero and it updated my return and schedule A. So you don't have to start a new return and transfer from 2024 again.
