I have a 2023 Fed & state overpayment that I applied to 2024. The estimate Tax section said not to enter it there, but I can't find where to enter the overpayments

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.

To enter last year's refund you applied to this year.

Federal (Personal for Home & Business)

Deductions and Credits

Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Other Income Taxes - Click the Start or Revisit

Next page scroll down to 2023 Refund Applied to 2024

Click Start or Update by the tax you applied

Then for state, you need to click on the state tab and go through state again for it to update.

The amount from your 2023 tax refund that you applied to go toward your 2024 tax liability should have transferred to your 2024 return as a credit. It'll show up under Other Income Taxes Paid in the Deductions and Credits Section.

To edit or add an entry that you made for 2023 Refund Applied to 2024 taxes, follow the steps below:

1. Open TurboTax

What if an overpayment is from 2021 state taxes.  The state notified me of my overpayment in November 2024, and stated it would be applied to my estimated account for 2024.

Where do I put that credit?

You can enter that amount under the estimated payments as an additional payment.
