How does tubrtax handle the 1040-ES amount you send to the IRS during the tax year?

Other than aiding in preparing them, TurboTax does not do anything.

• Estimated payments are optional.  
• We suggest them because an underpayment may result in a penalty.

You can check the IRS site IRS Payment options

 Did you send in estimates for 2024 and need to enter them?  You need to enter them manually.  They will show up on 1040 line 26.

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

If you made more than 4 payments - at the bottom is + Add another payment

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.

Estimated payments for 2025 are reported in TurboTax on your 2025 return in 2026.
