estimated state taxes sum to ZERO

I put in my estimated state taxes, and I specify the state. But it still says it sums to zero.  This is very frustrating...it should be an easy step and I'm wasting time trying to figure out what the heck is going on

You can enter your expected income and deductions in TurboTax or Tax Caster to get a feel for 2024's taxes.   In TurboTax, you can go through the estimated taxes for next year section.   If you already filed your return, you will need to click on Add A State at the bottom of the home page to access your return.    You can do this for your federal taxes and your state taxes, if applicable.

If you need to enter the estimated tax you paid in 2023.   Follow these instructions to make sure you are entering them in the correct spot.   You enter estimates paid for federal and state in this section.   If you are still having an issue, please reply.
