Enter 2020 taxes paid in 2 areas?

Do I enter 2020 self-employed and state & federal taxes paid in 2 places or 1? There is a place to enter these under business deductions and then again under the personal tab under deductions. In other words, these entries would be on Schedule C  AND the back page of the 1040 form under deductions. It changes the taxes owed, so I'm confused.

If you paid quarterly estimates for your self-employed business you enter the tax estimates for your business.  If you received unemployment benefits and had taxes withheld then enter this tax amount under personal but do not enter the same tax amounts in two different sections of TurboTax.
