In my son's 2022 return via TT, we specified that $593 be applied from the overpayment to 2023 federal

estimated taxes. I do not see that entered in any dialog with 2023 TT Deluxe. I have looked at previous answers to a similar question, but they don't seem to solve this problem for us. The 1040 Estimated Tax worksheet does

not even show up when I click on forms since the $593 represents all the estimated tax that was paid.

If it didn't transfer over from last year then enter a refund from last year that you applied to this year here. BUT first make sure it's not already there. You don't want to apply it twice.

To enter last year's refund you applied to this year.

Federal (Personal for Home & Business)

Deductions and Credits

Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Other Income Taxes - Click the Start or Revisit

Next page scroll down to 2022 Refund Applied to 2023

Click Start or Update by the tax you applied

TT did not transfer over the amount of 2022 overpayment to the 2023 estimated federal taxes. Of course, I can enter the amount myself, but this appears to be a significant TT programming bug! And it makes us question whether the overpayment amount was really applied. We guess that we have to trust that the IRS noted that my son didn't get the complete refund he was suppose to, and that the difference represents an amount to be applied to the 2023 estimated taxes or payment.
