OK   Refund applied to federal and state    How does that affect quarterly payments? Is it estimated tax due less applied refund divided by four?

Correct!  UNLESS, you've already indicated in the estimated taxes interview in TurboTax that you wanted to apply all or part of your refund to your estimated taxes for 2020.  Just make sure you don't count the refund twice.
