Last year did Turbo Tax print out 4 estimated payment slips? Those were optional to pay. They were just a suggestion. The IRS wasn't expecting them. Turbo Tax will never know if or when you paid them. So you need to manually enter the payments into your return.
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
You enter state estimated payments under the federal side (because they can be a federal itemized Deduction). THEN after you finish filling out the estimates under Federal you need to click on the State Tab at the top and start the state return over for it to update.
Some info.........
The 1040ES quarterly estimated tax payments DO NOT get sent to the IRS or state with your return. So they won't be expecting them. If you are receiving a refund or low tax due and Turbo Tax prepared the vouchers then your tax liability was probably reduced by credits. Turbo Tax is very conservative and doesn't want you to owe too much the next year. They might have printed out if you got a one time large income this year. Like if you took a IRA or 401K distribution or had a large capital gain. They are just a suggestion. You can ignore them.
