To report the estimated taxes paid:

  1. Log in to your account.
  2. Go to Federal Taxes.
  3. Go to Deductions and Credits.
  4. Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click show more.
  5. Select Estimated Tax Payments

The estimated taxes paid  will be reported on Schedule 3 part II line 8 and it will carry over to form 1040 line 18d.
