Nowhere to add state tax payment of $500 made 8/15/2016

The only explanations are unhelpful and lead to circular discussions.

Use the following steps to enter a state tax payment made in 2016 into your return:

• On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)

• This opens a box where you can type in “state balance due paid” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)

• The search results will give you an option to “Jump to state balance due paid”

• Click on the blue “Jump to state balance due paid” link and enter your information

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen to the Other Income Taxes Paid in 2016 section to find the appropriate category for the payment that you made, then click Start.
