What is an overpayment? Should I apply them to my 2024 estimated taxes?

Also why is it showing that I'm not receiving a refund for MD

An overpayment is good news.  It means you don't owe any additional taxes, and that your entitled to getting money back.

You have an option to tack a refund, or apply your overpayment to next years taxes.

• The refund will give you cash back this year.
• Applying it to 2024 taxes is the second option.
  • If you don't pay estimated taxes, I do not recommend this.
  • You had enough withheld this year, and probably will do the same next year.

We can not see your tax return, so it is difficult to determine.

• Make sure you went into your State Taxes and posted for all of the questions.
• The State input screens are on the left sidebar.

An overpayment is your refund. It means Do you want to leave your refund with the IRS or state and apply it to next year's 2024 tax return you do in 2025. Most people don't want to do that and want to get their refund now. So say NO, not to apply it.
