If you're expecting a refund from your amended federal tax return, you can choose to apply all or part of that refund toward next year's estimated tax liability instead of receiving it as a direct refund.
To do this, enter the amount you want applied to next year's taxes in the Amended Return section of your return.
Program Pathway:
- Go to Federal.
- Select Amended Return.
- Choose Original Federal Return Information.
- Enter the amount of your amended return refund that you want applied to next year's estimated taxes.
After selecting Continue, your entry will be saved and carried to Line 23 of Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.
