At least for the AL state tax, TurboTax has the option at the end of the "Other Forms". Total Path:
> State Taxes
> Other Forms (Est Taxes for Next Next…)
> Start Est Taxs: Yes
> No
> 2022 Est Tax
> Married
> 90%
> Apply Over Payment ==> Select Option
Note, it appears that TurboTax thought it was cute to have each state do this differently.
This year, TurboTax needlessly had me spend around 8 hours extra filling out crap that did not matter in end. List follows:
- And Turbo reported a low threadhold for deducting medical expenses. I spend 4hr digging the stuff up that I didn’t thing mattered. Turns out it was not deductible. Why did it waste my time? Stupid code!
- Also it encouraged listing all the charity that I generously give to. Turns out, only $600 (10% of the entered donations) are deducible. Why did TurboTax waste my time? Stupid code!
- Why are all the details of the 1099s entered when only the company’s name is provided to the IRS? Stupid waste of my time!
- Mistakenly, when it read my wife's and my financial accounts info, it doubled the joint accounts we have. >> Should check the account numbers!
- I got reported income from a company that did not provide an EIN. Turbo has no method to note this. In fact: It absolutely insists that something be provided. Further, it did not note that since it was under $600, it did not need reported.
- I do not want my phone number provided to the IRS, and yet TurboTax insists that I divulge it. Stupid code.
- In the record of W-2, my field 12a reported D:8200. I typed it in that way. Somehow, Turbo turned that into another tax hit with some wildly different coding number. No warning, nothing. I only found it with a box-by-box checking the PDF file. I do not buy TurboTax to have to manually scan a 118-page document number by number.
- Plus 2hr spent trying to find where to turn off Apply State Refund to Next Year.
