Question

Where do I enter my 2025 ES payments? I do not see an option under Deductions and Credits.

I checked a box indicating that I made estimated payments, but have not been asked to enter them anywhere. That amount should be deducted from the taxes I owe. Can I just deduct it from my check?

If Estimates and Other Taxes paid doesn’t show up in the list, it may be called "Your Tax Breaks".    There should be a button lower on that page for "Other Tax Breaks" or "Show all tax breaks" or similar words.    That makes the topics expand and opens up more Deduction topics.
