best way to add a estimated federal tax payment mistakenly paid as a "balance payment"

[awillis393]

I mistakenly did a Q4 estimated tax payment (paid in early January 2024) as a 2023 balance payment.   Obviously too late to try to have this fixed with the IRS before filing in about 24 hours. How should I add this payment to my turbo tax return?

Thanks

Can't you enter it as a 4th qtr payment?  How and when did you pay it?  If it was a balance due you just file without entering it with a tax due showing and it will match up to your payment.  Or you can enter it as an Extension payment.

this paid directly from IRS website in early January.
