We paid both state and federal 1040-ES payments but are not seeing where to add them and are not getting prompted. Any ideas?

They are both entered on the federal side.

To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January 2025 (for 2024) go to

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

Deductions and Credits

Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Estimated Taxes - click the start button

You have to enter the dates you actually paid the estimates and pick the right state from the drop down box

For Online,  When you click in the left column tab for Deductions & Credits, it may take you to a page called "Your Tax Breaks. 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.
