Prepai taxes

I accidentally prepaid some of my income taxes... How do I enter this on my turbotax tax return so I will get credit (refund?) for this when I file.

Prepai taxes

Are these payments estimated tax payments (form 1040-ES)?

 

Your estimated tax payments will serve as a credit against your Federal tax liability and have to be entered on your tax return.

 

In TurboTax Online, you can enter estimated taxes you paid by following these steps:

  1. Open your tax return
  2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then Deductions & Credits
  3. Navigate to the list of Deductions and Credits 
  4. Locate the section named Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click on the arrow on the right 
  5. Click on Start next to Estimated Tax Payments
  6. On the next page, click Start next to Federal estimated taxes for 2025 (form 1040ES)
