Why doesn't my tax return show the estimated tax payments I made in 2019?

I made $9061 in estimated tax payments. Why doesn't my TurboTax return take that into account?

Did it show up on the wrong line?  Maybe delete them and enter them in the right place.

For 2019 Federal Estimated payments should be on schedule 3 line 8.  And go to 1040 line 18d.

You can type estimates paid in the search box at the top of your return and click Find and it will give you a link to Jump To it.

OR

To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January for the prior year, go to

Federal on left or at top.  Personal (Home & Business)

Deductions and Credits at top

Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Estimated Taxes - click the start button

did you enter them?  TT does not assume estimated tax payments set up in the 2018 version were paid.

You're a God! Found it, turned a $3000 tax bill into a $5000 refund!
