I will assume you are using Online TurboTax.

With your online return open, click on the Search icon (magnifying glass) at the top right.
In the Search box enter the exact phrase estimated tax payments without quotes, then click the adjacent magnifying glass in the box. (ignore any dropdown suggestions while entering.)
You should be presented a blue link Jump to estimated tax payments. Click that.
Next screen is Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid.
Expand the section Estimated Tax Payments.
Choose the appropriate category and tax year you are reporting (Federal, state, local) and click START or Revisit.

If you have any trouble with the "jump to" method, here's another way to get there.

With the return open, go to the left menu column and click on TAX TOOLS, then the subtab TOOLS.
In the Tools Center choose the blue button Topic Search.
In the topic search line enter the phrase estimated tax payments without quotes.
Make the selection in the list (it may already be highlighted), and either double-click it or click the GO button.
Next screen is Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid.
Expand the section Estimated Tax Payments.
Choose the appropriate category and tax year you are reporting (Federal, state, local) and click START or Revisit.

NOTE: Before filing, make sure your Federal estimated tax payments correctly show on the Form 1040, Line 26, and that any state estimated tax payments (if applicable) show up on your state return.
