How do I enter self-employment taxes already paid?

Firstly, how does Intuit Turbotax Community even work? Like, where is the list of topics? How do I know where to post a question? How can this be so poorly organized? Intuit, please go and see what a normal forum looks like.

 

Turbotax question: I entered my income for my business, and Turbotax calculated what my self-employment taxes should be. Awesome! Now, can someone please tell me where I go to enter in the quarterly self-employment tax payments that I actually made?

Yes, I suppose my payments were "estimates" (though I calculate them rather precisely). Thank you kindly for this instructions!
