State tax filing
@nello. Are you using TurboTax Online. There is no worksheet in the online version. To apply part or all of your state refund to next year:
- Continue in the Illinois section until you are near the end.
- When you reach A few things before we wrap up your state taxes select Estimate tax payments for next year
- Say YES to Do You Want to Pay Illinois Estimated Taxes for 2021?
- Answer or skip all the questions until you see Apply Overpayment?
- Choose how much you want applied to next year.
Illinois says you must make estimated income tax payments if you reasonably expect your tax liability for the year to exceed $1,000 after subtracting your Illinois withholding, pass-through withholding payments, and tax credits for
- income tax paid to other states,
- Illinois Property Tax paid,
- education expenses,
- the Earned Income Credit, and
- Schedule 1299-C, Income Tax Subtractions and Credits (for individuals).
