Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I saw the reply that federal estimated tax payments made in 2018 for the prior year cannot be counted as deductions...this seems odd/I'm not sure how to proceed next year with taxes, because the 4th quarter taxes aren't even due until January 15, so how does one get those tax payments still credited as "taxes paid"?  

 

I actually made a tax payment in February of 2018 towards our 2017 federal estimated taxes, so it sounds like I don't record this anywhere on my taxes??? That also seems surprising-- it then would seem as if I didn't pay them!?
