i cannot enter text into the box for estimated payments and there is a little blue teardrop underneath the line? Is this a glitch in the software or does the blue teardrop mean something

Does this appear after you enter a user name? 

It sounds like the window for password storage.

Are you using Windows and a touchscreen by any chance?    If so, are you able to use the mouse or touch pad instead to select the field and make an entry?

I don't have such a device, so I have no way to troubleshoot.  However, I found the following post by a user on a Microsoft forum:

Open the Settings  (gear icon on the Start Menu)

Go to Devices - Typing - Hardware Keyboard

Is "Show suggestions as I type" turned on?

If so turn it off and try again.

 

If you don't get any other suggestions in this user community forum, here's how to reach TurboTax Support:

Also, try a double-click on the field...there might be a Supporting Details sheet attached that blocks direct entry  (usually that's on the Desktop software...not the Online stuff)

Yes, you should be able to enter the estimated tax payments paid in the screen called "How much did you pay in federal estimated taxes?" The 4 estimated payment due dates are already populated in the screen.  All you have to enter is the amount of payment made by each due date.How much did you pay in estimated taxes

 

Since I do not see a blue teardrop beneath these payment fields, you may need to revisit the location where you tried to enter the payments and correct.
