TurboTax no longer prompting for 1040-ES payments?
When I did my taxes this year, I was not prompted to enter the 1040-ES payments I had made. I'm pretty sure being asked to enter your 1040-ES payments was a standard part of the process in the past. This year, I was very lucky to remember just before I filed that I hadn't seen that part. I had to go back and hunt it down - it's buried in the Deductions section and TurboTax now considers it not very common.
This failure to prompt me is especially bothersome as I did my taxes on TurboTax last year, and it told me what 1040-ES payments I would need to make. So it already knew I had 1040-ES payments! I thought one of the big benefits of sticking with TurboTax is that it would remember things like this when I went to do my taxes the next year. Apparently not. It was too distracted with other trivial matters, like asking me over and over and over if I had sold any digital assets. or had any foreign bank accounts. Those seem like a much more uncommon situations to me.
