Last year, I applied part of my refund to estimated tax for the next year (2018). Where in TurboTax to I apply that overpayment to my return?

I applied approx 1,500 to estimated tax in anticipation of some additional taxes for 2018, and I don't see where in the current Turbo Tax deluxe program I can apply that amount to my return.

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.
Federal 
Deductions and Credits at top
Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
Other Income Taxes - Click the Start or Revisit

Next page scroll down to 2017 Refund Applied to 2018
Click Start or Update by the tax you applied
