If the Estimates don't transfer from QuickBooks you can enter them manually.
You can type estimates paid in the search box at the top of your return and click Find and it will give you a link to Jump To it.
OR
To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January for the prior year, go to
Federal on left or at top (Personal for Home & Business)
Deductions and Credits at top
Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
Estimated Taxes - click the start button
Do not enter them as Other Federal Withholding! Only enter them in one place.
For 2021 Federal Estimated payments should be on 1040 line 26.
You enter state estimated payments under the federal side (because they can be a federal itemized Deduction). THEN after you finish filling out the estimates under Federal you need to click on the State Tab at the top and start the state return over for it to update.
