Menu Path: Deductions/Credits > Itemized Deductions > Taxes Paid
You can enter quarterly state or local estimated tax payments on the Deductible Taxes Paid screen in the Filing Payments & Estimated Payments section. Answer Yes to the question that asks if you made any other state or local income tax payments in 2025.
Remember to include a 4th quarter 2024 estimated payment if it was made in 2025. On the other hand, if you made a 4th quarter 2025 state or local estimated payment in 2026 then don't enter that payment here. You can deduct a 4th quarter state or local estimated payment made in 2026 on your 2026 tax return.
For any state estimated tax payments to be reported on the state tax return, it will be entered separately in the state section.
