I used TurboTax CD\Download and no, I did not have your experience. When I started my tax return, the 2020 federal refund was transferred to my 2021 income tax return. The refund was reflected in my refund meter when I started my 2021 return.
If you didn't transfer your 2020 return over, you can manually enter the amount by doing this:
- Open (continue) your return, if you don't already have it open.
- Search for refund applied to this year and select the Jump to link in the search results.
- Scroll down to the 2020 Refund Applied to 2021 section.
- Select Start next to the appropriate category (federal, state, or local) and follow the instructions.
