they're entered in the payments worksheet. that flows to schedule 3 line 8 and that flows to 1040 line18d along with any other amount on schedule 3. 

 

line 17 is for federal withholdings - amounts taken out of payments to you like wages and pensions

For 2019 Federal Estimated payments should be on schedule 3 line 8.  And go to 1040 line 18d.
