I ENTERED $5000 IN ESTIMATED TAXES BUT THEY DON'T SHOW UP ON MY STATE FORM

[JohnB5677]

First I'd like to be sure they're entered in the right place.

You should have posted it to:

1. Deductions & Credits
2. Scroll down to Estimated Tax Payments
3. There are several options

   1. Federal estimated taxes for 2020 (Form 1040ES)

   2. State estimated taxes for 2020

   3. Local estimated taxes for 2020

   4. 2019 state estimated taxespaidin2020

   5. 2019 local estimated taxes paid in 2020

You should have selected Item 2

You will come to How much did you pay in state estimated taxes?

Be sure you enter the state from the drop down box to each record.

This should accurately post your state estimated payments.
