What a strange request.   Why do you not want your income tax refund?

Are you actually asking how to apply your 2025 refund to next year?   If that is what you are asking about----

 

Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Additional Tax Payments>Apply refund to next year

Figured it out, not sure why it isn’t offered as an option when submitting your taxe

1) it’s not a significant amount and frankly, don’t need it

2) it means I have to pay less next year
