I do not want an extension. I already paid these taxes. I want to deduct them from the total. I owe the North Carolina Department of revenue. I paid them quarterly. Where do I input that total number that I withheld?

    You enter your estimated state taxes in the federal part of TurboTax, in the Deductions and Credits section, then Estimates and Other Taxes Paid, then Estimates:

    But don't ever call them $$ "withheld", just say they were quarterly estimated payments.

     

    The terms "withheld"  or  "withholding" are specifically reserved for $$ actually retained when certain funds are distributed, and already reported on various tax forms you may have entered.

     

    ...like box 2 on a W-2 is Federal "withholding"

    ....box 17 on a W-2 is State 'withholding'

    ...Federal taxes "withheld" when retirement $$ are distributed are in box 4 of the 1099-R.

    etc..etc
