Why are you completing a 2020 amended tax return Form 1040-X?

Using a refund on the 2020 amended tax return to apply the refund to tax year 2023 is not possible, it can only be applied to tax year 2021.

 

To add, change or delete a current year federal tax refund to next year's taxes before you file your tax return -

  • Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
  • Click on Other Tax Situations
  • Under Additional Tax Payments
  • On Apply Refund to Next Year, click on the start or update button

Or enter apply federal refund to next year in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to apply federal refund to next year

    The IRS only sends checks for Amended return refunds.   Or are you just seeing 23 because that's the line #?

    The default for that line is ZERO.

    BUT

    if the question comes up enter ZERO.
