Follow these navigating instructions to enter your federal and state estimated payments made during tax year 2025:
If you made estimated or quarterly tax payments in 2025 toward your federal, state, or local taxes, enter them in the Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid section.
- Navigate to the estimated tax payments section:
- TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to estimated tax payments (< click here) under Deductions & credits in the Federal section.
- Select Start or Revisit next to the type of estimated tax payment you'd like to enter under Estimated Tax Payments.
- Enter the amount of estimated tax you paid at each of the quarterly due dates.
- If you paid 2025 estimated taxes in 2025, you'll enter just one amount for each state or locality.
See: TurboTax - Where do I enter my estimated tax payments?
Edit: An extension payment made timely by the 2024 tax deadline of April 15th 2025 will already have been reflected in your final 2024 tax return, and should not be recorded again this year against your 2025 tax liability.
1) You can review your tax payment receipts to verify what was sent in as an extension versus an estimated payment and for which tax period(s).
2) Follow the prompts carefully in the Estimated Tax Payments portion of the program, and ensure that your details are entered accurately, to prevent delays in processing or rejection by the taxing authorities.
