State tax filing

TT defaults to full refund rather than applying any or all to next year taxes.  The easy and timeless way to get it done is as follows: 

(a) jot down (note)  how much your refund is per the program

(b)  in the guided entry mode, hop in anywhere as if you want to modify your entries.  (b) immediately switch to Forms mode (top right of screen for most people). 

(c) Select form 1040 and scroll toward the end to see where it says how much is to be refunded (all by default) and how much is to be applied to next year (none by default).  Modify those two numbers, but just make sure that they add up to what the total refund would have been per my step (a) above. 

(d) Save it all and Shazzam.  You are ready to file.
