In 2018 I used four 1040-ES vouchers to pay required $2772 for estimated 2019 taxes. However for 2019 I am getting a refund. Where do I go on turbo to get my money back?

The estimated tax form 1040-ES that you used in 2018 were for paying 2018 estimated taxes, not tax year 2019 estimated taxes. Tax year 2019 does not end until after 12/31/2019

If you entered the estimated tax payment in the 2018 TurboTax program then the refund for tax year 2018 will include those tax payments.

Look at your at your tax return. Federal estimated taxes paid are entered on Form 1040 Schedule 5 Line 66. The totals for Schedule 5 flow to Form 1040 Line 17 Federal credits

To enter, edit or delete estimated taxes paid (Federal, State, Local) -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Deductions and Credits
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
On Estimates, click on the start or update button

Or enter estimates paid in the Search box located in the upper right of the online program screen. Click on Jump to estimates paid

Or click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen.
