Estimated Tax Payment Error

I reported one too many State Estimated Tax Payment last year and was notified by my state tax authority that they found the error and corrected my refund amount to reflect the correction. I did not have to file a corrected return. How will the error effect my tax return preparation this year if that error was not corrected in the return saved on my computer?

    Possibly so be sure to check that "Estimates and other taxes paid" topic in your 2021 return as the refund applied may have been affected and may have carried over.

     

    If you made estimated tax payments in 2021 for tax year 2021 you will enter those in the "Estimates and other taxes paid" topic under the "Deductions & Credits" tab.

    The estimated tax paid that was over reported was for the 2020 tax year and I can't see to locate a way to correct that in my 2021 TurboTax app.

     

    Thank you for your help
