    In Turbotax, go to the PERSONAL TAB and then choose:

    1. Deductions & Credits
    2. Estimates & Other Taxes Paid
    3. Estimates

    Choose Federal Estimated Taxes for 2024 and then:

    1. Did you pay federal taxes for 2024? Answer Yes
    2. Choose the 4th Quarter, since the January payment would apply to that Quarter.
      (If payments are made during any other quarters, input accordingly.)
    3. Enter the date you made the payment (in your case January 2025). 
    4. Enter the amount you paid.

    Follow the CONTINUE button to conclude.
