Applying a refund to the next year is not done that way or in that section. Here are the steps, which are not very intuitive:
To apply a 2017 Federal refund to the next year's taxes, try this:
-
Federal Taxes tab (or Personal tab in the desktop Home and Business Edition)
- Subtab Other Tax Situations.
- Scroll down to Additional Tax Payments.
- One of the subtopics is Apply Refund to Next Year.
- It will ask you how much you wish to apply.
