Will turboTax allow me to have the IRS apply my 2024 overpayment of federal taxes to my 2025 federal estimates?

Yes you can have your 2024 overpayment credited toward next year's taxes. See the link below for instructions

On Apply Refund to Next Year, click on the start or update button

Or enter apply federal refund to next year in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to apply federal refund to next year

The amount applied to next years taxes will be shown on Form 1040 Line 36
