I have a question about the estimated tax payments I made in 2018 which total 2987.00. Don't these payments apply to 2018 tax liabilities?

I was advised by Turbo Tax when filing my 2018 taxes, which had a amount due that I paid when I filed, that these estimated taxes for 2018 would be due.  I paid them quarterly but it doesn't they are applied to my 2018 tax liabilities.  Why not?

Yes, the estimated tax payments you made in 2018 should apply to your 2018 Tax Liability.

Please follow these instructions to enter your Estimated Taxes Paid (If you haven't done so already.):

• Login to your TurboTax Account
• Click "Take Me To My Return"
• Click "Search" in the upper right corner, then type "Estimates Paid" in the Search Box.  
• When the results populate, click the "Jump to Link" 
• From here you can enter any Federal, State, or Local Estimated Tax Payments you made for 2018
