Estimated taxes for state

For federal there is a place to enter the amount to be withheld, but for state estimated taxes, there doesn't appear to be a similar field.  (One person has W2 other is self-employed so not all of the tax liability for state needs to be paid quarterly).  Is there another way to do this?

Estimated taxes for state

State estimated taxes actually get entered in the same section as Federal estimated taxes (Federal Tax section - Personal if using self employed), but they have there own subsection - see screenshots.

You can enter your estimated taxes paid in 2016 - payments you made to go toward your 2016 federal or state tax liability (Form 1040-ES), by using the search feature in the top right hand corner of your screen and searching for "estimated tax payments" and click the "jump to" link.  Make sure you are inside your return before searching (click the Take Me to My Return button if you are just logging in).  This will bring you right to the appropriate section.

Or, you can also find the section by clicking on the following tabs:

  • Federal Taxes
  • Deductions and Credits
  • You may have to click “Ill Choose what to work on” or "Show All" or "Check for More Credits" to get full list to appear
  • Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
  • Scroll down to Estimates, click Start/Update/Revisit to the right of this category (see screenshot below)
  • Enter your 2016 Paid Estimated Taxes
