For reporting quarterly estimated tax payments you made, here's a shortcut navigation in Online TurboTax:
- With the return open, go to the left menu column and click on TAX TOOLS, then TOOLS.
- In the Tools Center choose the blue button Topic Search.
- In the topic search line enter estimated tax payments without quotes.
- Make the selection in the list and either double-click it or click the GO button.
- Next screen is Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid.
- Expand the section Estimated Tax Payments.
- Choose the appropriate category and tax year you are reporting (Federal, state, local) and click START or Revisit.
NOTE: Before filing, make sure your Federal estimated tax payments correctly show on the Form 1040, Line 26, and that any state estimated tax payments (if applicable) show up on your state return.
