How do I add estimated taxes paid to New York State in 2023 in the NY TT form?

[Tiffthecat1]

There  does not appear to be a way to add estimated taxes pain to NYS during 2023.  Can someone please help?

If you made estimated tax payments to New York in 2023, please enter them in the Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid section of your return. 

Please follow the instructions below to enter your estimates: 

1. Open or continue your return.
2. Go to the Federal section, then Deductions & Credits.
   • You can also search for estimated tax payments and select the Jump to in the search results.
3. Select Estimates and Other Taxes Paid.
4. Select Start or Revisit next to Estimated Tax Payments.
5. Choose Start next to State estimated taxes for 2023. 
6. Enter the amount of estimated tax you paid at each of the quarterly due dates.

but he wants to apply the estimate tax for NY STATE not federal, you still go to the federal section?

[Roger888]

hey man, does that work for you>? I think you want to apply the NY state estimate tax, not the federal one. because they have 2 estimate tax, one paid to federal, one paid to state. In your case, it is state, why still go to the federal level?

Yes you enter everything on the federal side.  One reason is because state estimated payments can be a federal itemized deduction.  There is a separate spot for state payments and you gave to pick the right state.  It will flow over to the state return.

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

Estimated Taxes - click the start button

Federal Estimated payments should be on 1040 line 26.

You enter state estimated payments under the federal side (because they can be a federal itemized Deduction).  THEN after you finish filling out the estimates under Federal you need to click on the State Tab at the top and start the state return over for it to update.
