Patty filed her $54.40 Pennsylvania Sales/Use tax online using e-TIDES. Is this tax payment considered an estimated tax payment?

My question is very basic.

Is the $54.40 Pennsylvania sales & use tax that we paid & filed online using e-TIDES considered an ESTIMATED tax payment?

Turbo tax is asking if we paid estimated taxes on the $1000 that we made.

How should we answer--Yes or No?

e-TIDES does not supply an answer.

Since you already paid the Use Tax, don't report any Use Tax due. You already paid it

The Use tax is deductible sales tax on your federal tax return if you itemize.

It is not an estimated tax payment.

correction above: don't report any Use Tax due. You already paid it
