Yes you enter everything on the federal side.  One reason is because state estimated payments can be a federal itemized deduction.  There is a separate spot for state payments and you gave to pick the right state.  It will flow over to the state return.   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 Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid Estimated Taxes - click the start button   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.  

Yes, you should file Married Filing Jointly, not single.  The W-4 form is used to provide information to your employer so that they can determine how much to withhold from your paychecks. If you put that you're married, and that only one of you work, that impacts how much taxes are withheld.   You can calculate how much you should have withheld by using the TurboTax W-4 Calculator 2024. The W-4 form is used to provide information to your employer so that they can determine how much to withhold from your paychecks.   Refer to the TurboTax Blog Understanding Your Withholding Allowance on Your Form W-4 and What Is a W-4 Form? for more information.

"Our W4, We both been filling single and even when we file 1040,"   So---really----ever since you got married in 2011 you have both been filing your own tax returns and telling the IRS you were single?    And some "advisor" said since you have been filing incorrect returns for years you should just keep filing incorrectly?   You need a better tax advisor.

Ok, I will make sure that we file 2025 1040 as married filing jointly. Thank you and I will seek a tax professional because the tax advisor that did my taxes last year told me to continue filling single. I will find a way to fix this 

hey man, does that work for you>? I think you want to apply the NY state estimate tax, not the federal one. because they have 2 estimate tax, one paid to federal, one paid to state. In your case, it is state, why still go to the federal level?

Our W4, We both been filling single and even when we file 1040, I spoke to a tax advisor that did my taxes last year and he told me that since we haven't been filling married at all just single that we needed to keep filling single because IRS is unaware of us being married but I'm not longer working. So my question is because I'm no longer working  I stopped working back in June of 2024. can my husband change status from single to married filing jointly on his W4 and the file the same on 1040 from 2025?

The Centralized Partnership Audit Regime (CPAR) makes it easier for the IRS to conduct audits on partnerships. Most partnerships opt out of the CPAR due to concern for future litigation if a disagreement arises between the partners and their partnership representative.    The decision to opt out or not should be discussed with a tax attorney who is familiar with your business situation.
