no you need to enter it under Deductions & Credits / Estimates and Other Taxes Paid, in order to get the correct amount due / refund / penalty calculations.

No, the only estimated payment that is automatically included on your tax return is an over-payment that is applied to the following year's estimated tax.  To enter estimated tax payments you made:

 

  • Go to Deductions & Credits
  • Scroll down to "Estimates an Other Taxes Paid" (you may need to click on the box with "Get more tax breatks" to expose the additional options)
  • Click on the "down arrow" to show options
  • Next to "Estimated Tax Payments" click on Start
  • Click on Start next to the type of Estimated or other tax you paid
