You can find the entry for an overpayment applied to your 2020 taxes in the Federal Taxes > Deductions and Credits > Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid > 2019 Refund Applied to 2020 section of your return.  

 

Use the following steps to go there:

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
  • This opens a box where you can type in “applied overpayment” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to applied overpayment
  • Click on the blue “Jump to applied overpayment” link 
  • Scroll down to the 2019 Refund Applied to 2020 section
  • Click Start or Update beside 2019 refund applied to 2020 state taxes to enter your information
