Where do I enter 1040-ES payments during 2018? I don't see a section for Estimates. Is "Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099" the right category?

If you made estimated tax payments on form 1040-ES for tax year 2018, you must enter them in TurboTax.

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)
