How to handle my last estimated fed and state tax payments made 1/5/2018?

How to handle my last estimated fed and state tax payments made 1/5/2018?

Are these payments considered as tax payments for my 2017 return even though paid in 2018? Will this last payment be utilized by TT and be included in the amount of tax I paid during the 2017 calendar year (along with my other 3 estimated payments)? If yes can you provide steps for fed & state estimated payments,so these 2018 payments are handled correctly?

Note: I have seen other posts on this but is confusing about a 4th qtr payment, Some answers seem to imply if it was not paid during the 2017 calendar year it is not considered for 2017 taxes.
