no you need to enter it under Deductions & Credits / Estimates and Other Taxes Paid, in order to get the correct amount due / refund / penalty calculations.

No, the only estimated payment that is automatically included on your tax return is an over-payment that is applied to the following year's estimated tax. To enter estimated tax payments you made:

Go to Deductions & Credits
Scroll down to "Estimates an Other Taxes Paid" (you may need to click on the box with "Get more tax breatks" to expose the additional options)
Click on the "down arrow" to show options
Next to "Estimated Tax Payments" click on Start
Click on Start next to the type of Estimated or other tax you paid
