Please name the tax years so that there's no confusion. .  Are you asking how to report an overpayment from your 2017 return on your 2018 return?  Or are you asking how to apply a 2018 overpayment to next  year's 2019 return?

Hi, epo39b. Thanks for your comment. I am asking how to report an overpayment from my 2017 return on my 2018 return. I am using a download version for 2018 return.  I have check my IRS account and there is a balance which is my 2017 overpayment.  I didn't use Turbotax for my 2017 return.  An accountant helped me file it. Thank you.

Here's how to report an overpayment from your 2017 return that you applied to your 2018 return so you get credit for it.

These steps are for the desktop software (CD/download).

• Federal Taxes tab (Personal tab in Home and Business)
• Subtab Deductions & Credits.
• "I'll choose what I work on."
• Your 2018 Deductions & Credits summary page.
• Scroll down to the topic  "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid"
• Choose subtopic "Other income taxes" and Start (or update.)
  
• On the Other Income Taxes screen scroll down to the topic "2017 Refund Applied to 2018."
• Choose the type of overpayment and click Start (or update.)
