estimated state taxes for 2020

[pegalicho]

How do I enter my estimated state taxes for 2020 on my turbotax.  I cannot find the site that says estimated and other taxes paid.

You enter state estimated payments under the federal side (because they can be a federal itemized deduction)

You can type estimates paid in the search box at the top of your return and click Find and it will give you a link to Jump To it.

OR
To enter State Estimated Taxes Paid (including a state estimated payment made in January), you have to first enter it under the Federal side, go to
Federal Taxes (or Personal for H&B/Self Employed version)
Deductions and Credits
Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
Estimated Taxes - click the Start or Update button
Click Start or Update by the taxes you paid
Federal Estimated Taxes
State Estimated Taxes
Local Estimated Taxes

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.
