I accidentally applied my 2023 tax return to next year can I undo that?

I accidentally applied my 2023 tax return to next year and it has completely screwed me out of almost all my money I was going to get back from my tax return this year how do I fix this?

If you filed it is too late.  Otherwise,

To change the entry you made to apply your Federal refund to next year

Federal Taxes Tab or Personal (H&B version)

Other Tax Situations

Additional Tax Payments

Apply Refund to Next Year - Click the Start or Update button and answer NO or delete the amount.

Don't know why you thought you had to redo your return.  But if you filed and it was Accepted then you have to remember next year to enter the refund amount that was applied to 2024 to get credit for it.  You can't amend your 2023 return to change it back.

The TurboTax app made me redo it it was the only way for me to even go back there was no amount to change at all I was not even given a option to change the amount or even go back and change anything so I had to restart my taxes from the beginning in order for me to even file them
