Additional Information:
All estimated payments for 2023 both Federal and Virginia State Estimated payments were entered as required under the Federal tax data in TurboTax 2023 but I will not receive a Federal refund, only a refund for my state payments. I would like to e-file my state return and apply the refund to next year's taxes but TurboTax 2023 will not permit this.
If I try to edit my state estimated payments in the Virginia state data TurboTax says that I cannot edit them under the state data but must go to the federal data entry. If I go there I am only permitted to request any federal refund to be applied to next year. I am not even asked if my state refund should go to next year because TurboTax declares that I won't receive a Federal refund.
I believe this is a bug in the TurboTax software. Is this something I should just ignore and cross my fingers every year some small or large thing like this doesn't occur?
The fact that this apparently cannot be at least worked around means that I will have to pay a hefty first 2024 estimated payment to Virginia by May 1 and again in June while waiting for the state of Virginia to send me an even heftier refund check.
I would appreciate any thoughts from anyone about this matter. If I cannot manage something as simple as this in TurboTax and e-file why should I continue to purchase this product?
