On my Colorado 2024 tax return, I had a refund that I applied to 2025 taxes due. Where in Turbotax can I enter this amount carried forward?

If you used TurboTax for 2024, you should not have to enter the refund for your 2025 return, because TurboTax will automatically carry that amount forward to the 2025 return.

 

However, if you used another method of filing in 2024 or if the refund is not appearing, then you can do the following:

1. Go to Deductions and Credits

2. Go to Other Income Taxes

3. Scroll down to 2024 Refund Applied to 2025

4. Click on Start (or whatever the button says) for 2024 refund applied to 2025 state taxes

5. On the next screen, you will be asked "which state?" and "how much?"
