That's in the Tax payments section under  deductions and credits section> estimates and other taxes paid

Where do I enter estimated state tax payments I made in 2025?

If you made estimated or quarterly tax payments in 2025 toward your federal, state, or local taxes, enter them in the Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid section.

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Navigate to the estimated tax payments section:
    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to estimated tax payments.
    • TurboTax Desktop: Go to the Federal section, then Deductions & Credits. Select Estimates and Other Taxes Paid.
  3. Select Start or Revisit next to the type of estimated tax payment you'd like to enter under Estimated Tax Payments.
  4. Enter the amount of estimated tax you paid at each of the quarterly due dates.

The only option I see in TurboTax desktop is when estimated taxes were paid with extension. What if estimated taxes were paid without filing an extension?
