I'm guessing that you company went public in 2021, which increased your W-2 for 2021. You then did your tax return in 2022 and owed a large amount.
I understand that you made a payment of $2,742 in 2022. What was it for?
With the numbers you're showing, it certainly seems like the IRS does not think it was an estimated payment for your 2022 tax return. It think that the $2,742 was the payment for your 2021 taxes and should not have been carried onto your 2022 tax return.
If this does not completely answer your question, please contact us again and provide some additional details.
Thank you, this is a very helpful response!
The question as stated on the form is super confusing: "2022 estimated tax payments and amount applied from 2021 return"
I interpreted that to mean, "tax payments made in 2022 from 2021 return". Apparently, so did the turbotax agents...?
The phrase "amount applied from 2021 return" refers to a situation where you had a refund in 2021 and you chose to apply the amount to your 2022 estimated taxes rather than getting a check or direct deposit.
2022 estimated tax payments are quarterly payments that you make when you think you will owe more tax than the amount you are having withheld.
Entries for either of these will be added as payments to your return and you will show a higher refund. Fortunately the IRS knows whether you made those payments and adjusted your refund.
