My mom passed away on 12/30/2026. When she filed her 2024 taxes she was due a refund of $1451 which she elected to apply to her 2025 return. I am about to submit her final return for 2025 but no where do I see that $1451 credit applied. It is line 26 on the 1040 but TurboTax never gave me a prompt to enter that information.

The overpayment from your mom's 2024 tax return that you applied to 2025 will serve as a credit against your 2025 tax liability and has to be entered in TurboTax.

I read a post that you may have to expand or go to Other common situations. Or maybe uncommon situations. Or look for More Tax Breaks.
Thank you - I believe I sorted this out by using the search function when logged in and typing "Estimates and other taxes paid". Under the Turbo Tax Mobile / online there was a hot link for "Estimated Tax Credits" that is not otherwise visible on my pulldown menu. It took me directly to the place that was previously forbidden to enter and I could add her 2024 refund to pay for her 2025 taxes.
Appreciate the assistance, but this still seems to be a missing option on my set of pull down menus.
