Last year I made 2 payments in error for my 2020 taxes. The IRS kept all the funds and no refund was issued. how can I apply the overpayment to  2021 taxes owed?

    If you have an overpayment, it should be reflected on your records with the IRS.

     

    To apply this payment to the current year's taxes in TurboTax:

    1. Go to Federal > Deductions & Credits
    2. Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click Start/Revisit next to Estimated Tax Payments
    3. Select Start next to Federal estimated taxes for 2021 (Form 1040-ES)
    4. Yes
    5. Enter the date of your second payment and amount under Additional payments
