Unable to enter 1040ES amount

In addition to being unable to enter information in the Estimated Payments screen, there were other screens also where I could not enter data. In all of them, when I used the Tab key and, after going all around the screen, I  tabbed back to the field, I was able to enter data. This seems to work on all screens where I had difficulty 

Unable to enter 1040ES amount

Tab back didn't work.  The amount paid boxes for April and June are greyed out.  Why?  I need to enter data for April and June.

 

Help?!

Unable to enter 1040ES amount

Federal Estimated Tax Payments are entered in Quarters (screenshot). 

 

April would be included in the Second Quarter, and June in the Third Quarter (not the same as calendar quarters, for the IRS).

 

If you can give more info, we'll try to help.

Estimated taxes paid in 2021 and on or before January 18, 2022 would have been for tax year 2021, not 2022.  Estimated tax payments for tax year 2022 would be for payments made after January 18, 2022 and on or before January 17, 2023.
