I prepaid 2025 MD state taxes but I'm not sure how Turbo Tax knows this and gives me credit for it. TT says I owe about the same I prepaid. How does TT know I prepaid?

The only way that TurboTax would know that you prepaid taxes, would be if you entered in your federal interview that you made estimated payments, or if you filed with TurboTax last year and you applied your 2024 MD refund to 2025, or with the amounts that were withheld from your forms (like W2 or 1099), that you entered on the return.

Where do I enter my estimated tax payments?
