Why did Turbo tax fail to report my ES tax payments I mad in 2025?

[t7trishfaro]

Therefore I have to pay $8000+ more taxes, because the Estimated taxes werent recorded.

Did YOU enter the payments?     How would TurboTax know you actually made those payments unless you entered them when you prepared your tax return?   TurboTax receives no information from the IRS -- TT would not have any confirmation from the IRS that you made those payments even if you had 1040ES vouchers to use.

To enter estimated tax paid in 2025

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

If the IRS does not catch your mistake and credit you with the estimated payments you will need to amend.

Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
