To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January for the prior year, go to
Federal on left or at top (Personal for Home & Business)
Deductions and Credits
Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
Estimates - click the Start or Update button
When you click in the left column tab for Deductions & Credits, it may take you to a page called "Your Tax Breaks. Lower on that same screen should be a button or link for "Add more tax breaks" or "Show more tax breaks" or similar wording. When clicked, then the screen should expand, and all the deduction topics are displayed including "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid." Then that topic can be expanded further to get the subtopic Estimated Tax Payments.
fyi online does not have Forms mode. all entries must be made using the interview mode. any direct entry on a 1040 Form or Schedule will prevent e-filing.
Thank you for the detailed response. After I posed the question, I found out where to type that in. When I asked for help though - I was offered either this community where you stepped in, or to pay a professional - and spend ~ $200 for this !:-)
