Payment to state

[amysimmons]

Last year after review of the Tax Payments Worksheet we realized we, in error, we entered the State Distribution amount from Box 14 into Box 12 (State Tax Withheld) when entering a 1099-R.  As the return was filed, we immediately filed an amended return to fix actual taxable amount of Box 12 and submitted a payment to the state.  We have now received a 1099-G which I know where to enter, but where to we enter the payment that we made to state.  Thanks in advance!
