I have a 2019 Federal refund that I applied to my 2020 Federal tax return. Where do I enter that in 2020 Turbo Tax? Same for my State tax return.

On the next screen select the options under 2019 Refund Applied to 2020


Or enter refund applied to this year in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to refund applied to this year
