where do I enter the estimated tax that was paid during the year

[VolvoGirl]

To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January for the prior year, go to

Federal on left or at top (Personal for Home & Business)

Deductions and Credits

Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Estimates - click the Start or Update button

I read a post that you may have to expand or go to Other common situations. Or maybe uncommon situations. Or look for More Tax Breaks.
