My wife was received a 1099 as a contractor. We paid federal, state, Social Security and Medicare taxes each quarter. Where do I enter these amounts within Turbo tax?

The payments you made are estimated taxes.

You can enter the estimated taxes you paid by following these steps:

  • In TurboTax, open your tax return
  • Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then Deductions & Credits on top of the screen
  • Scroll down to All tax breaks, locate the section named Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click Show more
  • Click on Start next to Estimated Taxes
  • On the next page, click Start next to Federal estimated taxes for 2017 (form 1040ES)
