Question

Where on TurboTax can I enter 1st quarter estimated tax paid for 2021?

1st quarter estimated taxes were due on April 15 even though the filing deadline was extended to today.  There was no place on TurboTax to enter the payments I made to federal and state on April 15, so the estimated tax vouchers it created for me for 2021 are based on the assumption that I haven't begun to pay.  I want this corrected before I file.  The help topics that are similar to this direct people either to Federal Deductions and Credits or to Other Tax Situations/Apply Refund to Next Year, but neither of those places allows me to enter my 2021 first quarter payment.

An estimated tax payment for tax year 2021 is not entered on a 2020 tax return.  You will enter that payment on the 2021 tax return that is filed next year.

Thank you, but how do I get my estimated tax vouchers for 2021 to reflect that I've already paid the first quarter?  Does that matter, or do I just disregard the first voucher?
