On my husband's K-1, line 20 ZZ, state taxes were paid. Where do we enter this to get credit? It's recorded on the K-1 but we're not getting a credit for it. It's not estimated state tax payments. Not sure where else to look.

Yes, you can report state taxes paid by your investment by following these steps:

Go to Deductions and Credits >> Estimates and Other Taxes Paid >> Estimates.
Click Start/Update, then Start beside State estimated taxes for 20XX.
Enter the amount paid and choose your state from the drop-down menu.
Continue back to the Deductions & Credits summary page.
Now go to State Taxes and follow the prompts to Credits and taxes.
Click Start/Update and confirm the estimated tax payment appears at the top of the page.

This process will apply the state tax payment against your state income taxes due.

If I enter them as estimated state taxes, what date do I provide? On the K-1 there is not a specific date listed. I think it was done over the course of the entire year. I don't want to get audited over something simple like this.

In most cases, using the last filing date is the most conservative. Unless the company can provide exact dates for each estimated tax payment, your best option is the January date. You have good documentation in the unlikely event of a question from the state.
