Hi there,

The entries you want are on Payments, Penalties, Extensions > 2023 Estimated > 2023 Estimated Tax:

Make sure "Apply overpayment to 2023" is blank (set to "Select"), and there's no amount entered in Amount to apply.

I am trying to do the opposite, credit to 2023 instead of refund.  I have the boxes checked to apply, what am I doing wrong?

@jfoley Are you amending a return? If so, you can not apply the refund. Look at the Profile and see if Amend boxes are checked

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!
