In TurboTax Online, enter the estimated tax payments as follows:    Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal. Down the left side of the screen, click on Deductions and credits. Click the down arrow to the right of Estimates and Other Taxes Paid. Click to the right of Estimated Tax Payments. Choose which estimated tax payment needs to be reported.

IRS assumes your income and any withholding is even throughout the year (literally total divided by 4), and any estimated tax needed to meet the "safe harbor" (100/110% of prior year tax or 90% of current year tax) also needs to be paid "timely" which usually means quarterly.  If you only paid 2 of those ES payments you will likely be underpaid on the 2 other quarters.   If you are on desktop you can see Form 2210 in Forms mode (double click on Form 1040 thru Line 38 and again in the 1040 worksheet, or use Open Form) to show the quarterly underpayment (not sure equivalent for TT Online as Form 2210 is not filed by default unless you have an exception condition).   Depending the actual timing of your income and when you paid the ES you may be able to reduce the penalty with the AI method, but it involves a lot of additional calculations to detmerine your AGI, withholding, qualified divs, LTCG by quarter.  The AI method is helpful if your income was uneven towards the end of the year (e.g. Q4 Roth conversion) and your ES payments were also late to show IRS how they line up.  But if your income was generally even then the AI method won't solve for ES payments that were simply missing or late.

After trying to have turbo tax fix this issue since 2/24/26, I finally decided to try deleting the asset and re-entering it.  As I suspected, I can't re-create the asset as it was before.  The asset (the residence) had a depreciable basis of $63,202 before I deleted it (I can see this in the 2025 Depreciation and Amortization Report from before I deleted the asset).  Now that I have re-entered the asset with all of the correct information exactly as it was before, the asset now has an incorrect depreciable basis of $126,404 and 2025 depreciation amount of $7,980 instead of $2,299 (based on 27.5 yr recovery period).  Please guide me as to how I can re-create this asset as it was before?  I'm very frustrated that I finally gave in and did what you asked by deleting the asset, and it has messed up the depreciable basis and current year depreciation.  I can't believe how much time and energy I'm having to put into fixing my tax return due to your software's issues.  

if your FTC is less than $300 no Form 1116 is required. On the 1099-Div, only enter the FTC no other info for it. however this still requires Schedule 3 for which there may be a charge. in this case the only option is not to report the FTC.    

Thank you. I'll check with the company that prepared the return. If I can't find the information, would the conservative approach be to asssume that none of the $710 is exempt? In that case I'd be overpaying Ohio by likely less than $25.
