Additional money paid to the state each paycheck- How do i claim?

Hi!

I live in California and each year I usually end up paying more taxes to the state then Federal. For 2020 I had two jobs and put an additional $100 to pay to the state on one job, and $50 dollars per paycheck from the other job. How do I claim that? Turbo tax is asking for a quarterly amount, and payment dates, but payments weren't paid quarterly. 

 

Any help greatly appreciated. thank you !

You don't need to do anything more once you enter your W-2. You made extra payments through payroll so they're on your W-2 and entered when you enter your W-2, Box 17.

Thank you! Under the state return under credit and taxes section, it asked if i paid additional taxes to the state. I selecting yes, should i say no? When selecting yes, it credits me for $621, an amount which is also in one of my jobs W2 box 14 "other" and states this is for payment in excess SDI (due to having 2 jobs, making over 122K). It advised me to go to federal section to fill out what was paid, and that is why I was confused on if i claim it there or if that would essentially be claiming twice.

You should say no, that you did not pay additional taxes to the state. The additional taxes that the software is referring to are the quarterly taxes that are paid at certain dates. You did not pay those payments.  All the information that you need to report your extra taxes is on the W-2s. There is no need for any additional information.
