Estimated Tax payments problem

[KarenC51]

Last year I used Turbotax to do my 2022 Virginia taxes and it said to make estimated payments of $639 per quarter, so I did. Now it's telling me I underpaid and it won't let me finish the state taxes because of some form that's not filled out correctly. How do I get help on this?

Thanks!

Did you enter the payments?  

To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January for the prior year, go to

Federal on left or at top (Personal for Home & Business)

Deductions and Credits at top

Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Estimated Taxes - click the start button

You enter state estimated payments under the federal side (because they can be a federal itemized Deduction).  THEN after you finish filling out the estimates under Federal you need to click on the State Tab at the top and start the state return over for it to update.

You have to pick the right state from the drop down box and enter the right payment dates.
