Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@dsatyr44  I think what you are asking is based on the following:

 

1) you have yet to complete your 2022 or 2023 tax return

2) you have estimated that the refund for 2022 is around $4463.

3) you are asking how much of that should be applied to 2023.  

 

My recommendation:

 

Complete BOTH your 2022 and 2023 tax return RIGHT NOW. 

On the 2022 return, request that the ENTIRE $4463 be carried forward as a credit on the 2023 return. 

On the 2023 return, request the entire CREDIT that may remain.  If you owe, then the money from 2022 is going to reduce the late payment penalties.
