Where do I enter prepayment of estimated taxes?

Hi, I am completing prior year tax returns (new to Turbotax). In one prior year, I pre-paid a few thousand dollars to the IRS just to be sure, even though I did not expect to owe it any money. Where do I enter this on the Turbotax return?

Where do I enter prepayment of estimated taxes?

These payments are estimated taxes.

 

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 2019 (form 1040ES)
