Here’s what I think is happening:
I completed my taxes. I paid TurboTax. I selected filing by mail meaning I will print off the taxes and submit them on April 18.
Meanwhile I notice that there is one tiny year written wrong. I had written 2022 when it should have been 2021.
But to fix this my only option was AMEND my return. Ok. I amended it. Fixed the typo but now I had additional pages referring to my amended return. I tossed those but keep the page with the correct year.
But. Then I noticed that I was not able to apply my Wisconsin tax overpayment from 2021 to my estimated taxes for 2022. So I go back to AMEND again and following your advice I see that there is no option for overpay of state taxes BUT because I am in AMEND there also is showing no income tax due and no state tax due - could that be the reason why there is no option to apply an overpay? It is really a problem with TurboTax to fix something after paying when I haven’t filed yet and just need small corrections. I know years ago (4 maybe) the heavy handed AMEND was an option. What do you think? I wish I could just fix my return without officially amending it. But that’s not possible is it?
