I have used Turbotax for a number of years. This year it is asking a number of questions about taxes paid for previous years. Here is one of the questions
How much of your 2024 state taxes did you pay in 2025?
I had taxes due last year. If I answer this question and put in the amount I paid on my 2024 taxes when I filed in April, it generates a credit. I am not sure that I am interpreting this question correctly as those were just 2024 taxes due, I should not get a credit. I don't believe this was a question last year.
I have a similar question on estimated tax payments. It seems to be doing the same thing on tax payments. It knows the dates of my tax payments for 2024 and 2025 so it has that collected. But it still comes back and asks if I made an estimated tax payment for 2024 in 2025. Technically yes I did on 1/15/25 but it was for 2024. Again the question is confusing but I made a payment for 2024 in 2025. Again, it seems to give me a credit for 2025 taxes for this 2024 payment. I don't think these questions existed last year. Am I missing something? Thank you
