No, the IRS does not pay interest on estimated taxes you paid, even if these payments exceed your tax liability and result in a refund to you. It is your responsibility to estimate these amounts and pay them at the due dates.

However, you may incur a penalty for underpayment of estimated taxes if the estimated taxes paid were insufficient.

I received interest from the IRS because I asked them to hold $4,000 of my refund from 2019 and apply it to my 2020 taxes.   I received $22 interest from IRS and entered the interest received on my federal return, but I can't find out how to change my credit for estimated taxes to $4022.

Anyone know where I can enter the $22?

You don't add the $22 to your estimated taxes. The IRS should have sent you a 1099-INT as well as a check or a direct deposit. Once you have entered this in the appropriate place for interest (it sounds like you already have). You are done with the $22.
