Estimated taxes paid

[spurling52]

Please let me know why my estimated taxes that were paid were not on my 2016 tax return.

That is because you have to enter them yourself. Did you actually enter them? If so, where, exactly did you enter them?

If you are using TurboTax Online:

• Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen
• Click on Tools
• Click on Topic Search
• Type in estimated tax payments, click on Go

If you are using the Desktop/CD version of TurboTax, use this method:

 If you made estimated tax payments in 2020 towards your federal, state, or local taxes, enter them in the Estimated and Other Income Taxes Paid section.

1. With your return open, search for the term estimated tax payments.
2. Select the Jump to link.
3. Choose Start next to the type of estimated tax payment you'd like to enter.
4. Enter the amount of estimated tax you paid at each of the quarterly due dates.
   • If you paid 2019 estimated taxes in 2020, you'll enter just one amount for each state of locality.
