Illinois estimated taxes paid in 1st quarter 2020 for earnings in 4th quarter 2019.

[WildBillo]

I paid Illinois estimated taxes in 1st quarter of 2020 for earning 4th quarter 2019.  Turbo Tax program will not allow me to take withholding tax credit for my 2020 taxes in Illinois.  I was able to do do this last year.  Turbo Tax messaged me something paying federal first..  Federal is not owed anything for estimated taxes.  I am a resident of Illinois.  This about  jackpot money won in Nevada 4th quarter 2019.  Need help.

Are you trying to enter quarterly state taxes or withholding?

If a Nevada casino withheld Illinois state tax on money you won in 2019, that amount would be included on a Form W-4G issued for 2019.

If you want to enter a 2019 fourth quarter estimated state tax payment paid in January 2020:

• Type estimated taxes in Search in the upper right
• Click on Jump to Estimated Tax Payments
• Start 2019 state estimated taxes paid in 2020
• Enter your quarterly payments. If you paid on different dates you can change them.
