Yes, you can enter that in TurboTax. If you used TurboTax last year, it should be there, but it's best to verify. 

 

Here's how to find it:

 

 

  1. Sign in to your TurboTax account.
  2. Select Deductions & Credits, then Pick up where I left off or Edit.
  3. Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid, expand the section by selecting the down arrow on the right. 
  4. Select Start or Revisit to the right of Income Taxes Paid. 
  5. Select Start or Revisit to the right of 2022 refund applied to 2023 federal taxes.
  6. Enter the amount applied to 2023 and select Continue.
