the online version does not allow an entry for estimated tax payments even tho it is supposed to be in deductions and credits. How do I enter estimated tax payments?

If you made estimated tax payments on your gambling winnings during the 2025 tax year, then you can enter your payments using the information below.

• Where do I enter my estimated tax payments?

Here's a tool that should get you directly to the estimated tax payments section.  I've also provided an alternate navigation method in a comment that follows this one.

• With the return open, go to the left menu column and click on TAX TOOLS, then the subtab TOOLS.
• In the Tools Center choose the blue button Topic Search.
• In the topic search line enter the phrase estimated tax payments without quotes.
• Make the selection in the list (it may already be highlighted), and either double-click it or click the GO button.
• Next screen is Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid.
• Use the subtopic Estimated Tax Payments.
• Choose the appropriate category and tax year you are reporting (Federal, state, local) and click START or Revisit.
  
  

NOTE:  Before filing, make sure your Federal estimated tax payments correctly show on the Form 1040, Line 26, and that any state estimated tax payments (if applicable) show up on your state return.

@rcdmbch I provided the shortcut method above to go directly to the estimated taxes entry section.   If you want to use regular navigation, here's how.  So between the 2 methods, you should be able to use one or both of them.

When you click in the left column tab for Deductions & Credits, it may take you to a page called "Your Tax Breaks".   That shows the "Tax Breaks", i.e., deductions, that someone has already worked on this year or that TurboTax is expecting from what was entered last year.   Lower on that same screen should be a button or link for "Add more tax breaks" or "Show more tax breaks" or similar wording.   When clicked, then the screen should expand, and all the deduction topics are displayed including "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid."  Then that topic can be expanded further to get the subtopic Estimated Tax Payments.

I entered estimated federal and state taxes using the deductions approach.  An error stating ‘needs review’ comes back.  All dates and amounts are correct. I cannot get pass this and it’s  not being entered.

How do I get estimated taxes?

Sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files) because a full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax.  You can try these steps if you are using the online version:

• Clearing your Cache and Cookies
• Using a different browser
• Opening an Incognito Window

Please reach out again if your problem persists.
