Hi, I am self-employed and made quarterly estimated tax payments. However, turbotax never asked me to enter these amounts. How can I do so?

I'm afraid TurboTax is calculating my taxes without accounting for my 2018 payments. Thanks for your help!

You can enter estimated taxes you paid by following these steps:

In TurboTax, open your tax return
Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then Deductions & Credits on top of the screen
Scroll down to All tax breaks, locate the section named Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click Show more
Click on Start next to Estimated Tax Payments
On the next page, click Start next to Federal estimated taxes for 2018 (form 1040ES) (see attached screenshot)
