I paid a nanny and filed and paid state taxes through the FC-20 and the VA-5 form in Virginia. Do I report these for state estimated taxes?

No, these state estimated taxes were withheld from your nanny's wages when you submitted the payments to Virginia on VA-5, whether that was monthly or quarterly. The state withholdings would have been reported on your nanny's W-2 statement when you (or your payroll company) prepared that form. The state estimated tax payments would not impact your personal state income tax return.

Please see Household Employer Withholding Tax (nanny tax) for more details.

Thanks you. Why is TurboTax asking for our estimated tax filings for our EIN then? It asked the same for Federal and wouldn't stop saying we owed 10k in taxes until I also put my 1040-ES into it as well. If this is just for personal income then it asking for this information is unnecessary.

The payments you made using VA-5 and FC-20 are household employer payroll tax payments, not personal estimated income tax payments. They shouldn't be entered as estimated taxes on your Virginia or federal return. The software is asking about personal estimated payments made under your SSN, which are separate from deposits made under your EIN for household employment taxes.
