I already paid my household employment taxes, how do I get turbotax to recognize that?

[tomorrowsman]

I am trying to figure out where to put in TurboTax 2019 my tax payments from Schedule H.  TurboTax added the liability, but does not let me add what was paid in 2018, so I'm overpaying by thousands of dollars using TurboTax.  Why is this?

If you withheld and paid taxes during the year for your household employee/nanny,then report those payments as estimated tax payments.

You can type estimates paid in the search box at the top of your return and click Find and it will give you a link to Jump To it.

OR

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 (Home & Business)

Deductions and Credits at top

Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Estimated Taxes - click the Start or Update button

Estimates paid will be on Schedule 5 line 66 which goes to 1040 line 17.

Add up the months three at a time, and report here by quarter. Notice the payment dates provided. If you don't want to use those dates, you can go to the next screen in both federal and state, and enter your own four dates in the year.
