I live in Montana, I pay estimated taxes over the year, Turbo Tax doesn't ask me about that amount in the state section. How do I enter it?

I paid estimated taxes in quarterly chunks over 2018.  I don't other than my canceled checks I don't have any record.  TurboTax doesn't has me (that I see) for that amount when I am filling out the Montana details.  It just ends up telling me my tax bill is (for example) $1600 but I have already  sent $1200 to the MT Department of Revenue.  How do I handle this?


thanks,

jim

You enter your state estimated tax payments in the Federal section and they will flow through to your state return.

You can enter the state estimated taxes you paid by following these steps:

  • In TurboTax, open your tax return
  • Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then Deductions & Credits on top of the screen
  • On the next page, click on I'll choose what I work on 
  • Scroll down and Locate the section named Estimates and Other Taxes Paid 
  • Click on Start next to Estimates
  • On the next page, click Start next to State estimated taxes for 2018 (see attached screenshot)
