Does rolling over your return to next year, save the money for you? or does it pay your next year taxes?

last year i rolled my tax return for this year, do i get that return in addition? or did it pay for last years taxes?

If you applied your refund to next year it reduces the tax due next year (or increases a refund).  

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.
