TT decreased my California estimated tax payments by the amount of my 2023 refund I applied to 2024 CA taxes. This seems wrong.

How would I report this as a bug to Inuit?

That is not a bug. When you apply your refund to the following year's taxes, you are applying it to estimated taxes in order to reduce the payments that you need to make.

If you still made the higher estimated payments, then enter the actual amount you paid so that you get credit for both the payments you made and the refund amount applied.
