Where do i enter estimated tax payments? I am using "Premium", desktop version, MacOS, and don't see the dropdown option TurboTax thinks should be there.

This is the TurboTax query response, but I don't see an option "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid": "TurboTax Desktop: Go to the Federal Taxes, then Deductions & Credits. Select Estimates and Other Taxes Paid."

To enter estimated tax paid in 2025

 Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Estimates

@John-Higgins   The Desktop program does not have a "Premium" version.  Do you have the menu tabs going across the top or down the left side in a black or grey column?  Sounds like you might be in the Online version.

 

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.

Thanks, but unfortunately, these suggestions was precisely what did not work in my online "premium" version. E.g., there was no such option in the "Deductions ..." section for "Estimated ...". However, I since found another reply to another user who had similar problems, using the "Tools" feature, which I'm pasting below:

  • 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.
  • Expand the section Estimated Tax Payments.
  • Choose the appropriate category and tax year you are reporting (Federal, state, local) and click START or Revisit.
