The instruction says: Enter XYZ in the search box located in the toolbar at the top of the screen. On my screen there is no search box. How to get the search box?

If you aren't seeing the Search Bar (see screenshot below of what it should look like), check your settings to make sure you toolbar isn't hidden.

Alternatively, you can also get to the section you are looking for by clicking the following tabs -

  • Federal Taxes (may say Personal if using Home and Business)
  • Deductions and Credits
  • You may have to click “Ill Choose what to work on” or "Show All" or "Check for More Credits" to get full list to appear
  • Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid (you may need to scroll down all the way past your "common" tax breaks list that will appear in your summary)
  • Scroll down to Estimates
  • Enter your 2018 Paid Estimated Taxes - states will be an option inside here

Thank you for the navigation, it was easy to follow. I just realized the search box doesn't exist in Forms mode.
