How do I enter quarterly tax payments that I made in 2024? The instructions say to go to "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid", but that doesn't exist.

There is an "Income Taxes Paid" section but it does not include anything related to estimated taxes.

Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Or enter estimates paid in the Search box located in the upper right of the online program screen. Click on Jump to estimates paid

*** Update ***

 

I was able to force TT to show the missing section:

1) Under the "Deductions and Credits" section, click on "Add Tax Breaks"

2) Search for "Estimate"

3) Click "Add" next to "Estimated Tax Payments".

 

This makes the missing section become available.
