Are you needing to report 2020 quarterly estimated taxes you paid so you get credit on your 2020 return? If so, quarterly estimated taxes are not an expense. There is a dedicated place to report them. See these steps:
You appear to be using Online Self-Employed, at least that is what is displayed underneath your question. Here's how to report your 2020 quarterly estimated tax payments in Online TurboTax:
- With your return open, click on the Search tab at the top.
- In the Search box enter the exact phrase estimated tax payments without quotes, then click the adjacent magnifying glass. (ignore any dropdown menu while entering.)
- Click on Jump to estimated tax payments.
- Next screen is Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid.
- Choose the appropriate category you are reporting (Federal, state, local) and click START.
If you have any trouble with the "jump to" method, here's another way to get there.
- With the return open, go to the left menu column and click on TAX TOOLS, then TOOLS.
- In the Tools window choose the blue button Topic Search.
- In the topic search line enter estimated tax payments without quotes.
- Make the selection in the list and click GO.
NOTE: Before filing your return, make sure your estimated tax payments are showing up on your Form 1040, Line 26.
