What do it mean about applying overpayment?

[KaseyD · Accepted solution]

An overpayment is your refund, it means that you overpaid your taxes and get money back.  If you see a question that asks if you want to apply your overpayment to your next years (2017) taxes, you want to say that you do not want to apply the refund so that you will receive your full refund this year.

Did you ever get an answer. I called the help desk and did not hear back. I would like receive my overpayment as well.
