why isn't turbo tax using my estimated taxes for the standard deductions.

Estimated tax payments you made in 2025 have nothing to do with a Standard Deduction.

To enter, edit or delete estimated taxes paid (Federal, State, Local) -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Deductions and Credits
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
On Estimated Tax Payments, click on the start or update button

On Federal estimated taxes for 2025 (Form 1040-ES), click the start button

Federal estimated taxes paid are entered on Form 1040 Line 26

Not sure what you are trying to ask.  Your standard deduction is based on your age and filing status.  It has nothing to do with your estimated tax or estimated payments you may have made.

Your standard deduction is shown on line 12e  of your Form 1040.

2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS

SINGLE $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)

MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind +1600)

MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500  (65 or older/legally blind + $1600)

HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)

Were you trying  (awkwardly) to ask about how to enter estimated payments made in 2025?
