Note - The plan administrator will have federal taxes withheld from the withdrawal. You report the taxes withheld on your tax return as a tax payment (just like from a W-2). The TurboTax program will handle this for you when you enter the Form 1099-R.

If the Social security and 401k withdrawal are your only income, you will not owe any tax and will not even be required to file a tax return (unless your filing status is Married Filing Separately).

Social security only becomes taxable when added to sufficient other income.

Social security (including SSDI) becomes taxable when your income, including 1/2 your social security, reaches:

Married Filing Jointly(MFJ): $32,000

Single or head of household: $25,000

Married Filing Separately and lived with your spouse at any time during the tax year: $0

Half of 18,612 is 9306. 9306 + 10,000 = 19306 < 25,000 None of your SS is taxable.

Since $10,000 is less than the filing threshold, you do not need to file.

But, to answer your question: you cannot make estimated tax payments, on income received during the year, on TurboTax (TT). You can prepare the estimated tax payment vouchers. But, the payments have to be mailed in with the vouchers. Or you can pay at the IRS web site <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/payments/direct-pay">https://www.irs.gov/payments/direct-pay</a>

To prepare the payment vouchers. In your 2016 software, enter at:

If you withdraw money from your 401k in 2017, you will receive a 1099R in January of 2018. You will enter the information from that 1099R onto your 2017 tax return, and TurboTax will calculate the tax you may owe for the distribution from your retirement account.

When you prepare your 2017 return: To enter your retirement income, Go to Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA 401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.

You did not mention how old you are--if you are under 59 1/2 you will incur a 10% early withdrawal penalty for the distribution.
