Estimated tax payments

Hello,

 

I am trying to enter in how much I paid for estimated taxes in 2020. It asks for the "Date paid" for each quarter. Should I enter in the date that I put on the check that I used to make the payment, or should I enter in the date when the money was withdrawn from my bank account?

You should put the date you issued the check.  Taxpayers are "Cash Basis" which means a bill is paid when you issue payment.  The post mark may be a better indicator.
