(You can also select state or local estimated taxes, or scroll down to select taxes paid with an extension, 2015 refund applied to 2016, or other income taxes paid in 2016.)
- Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your estimated payments. (Click the second screenshot below for an example.)
Note: If using the TurboTax
