Can I apply last year's tax overpayment to this year's tax due?

[kristysengpiel]

2018 is the first year filing taxes with TurboTax.  In 2017, I had an overpayment of Federal Taxes.  How do I apply last year's overpayment to this year's tax due?

You can enter it manually. 

Please follow the steps below to enter your overpayment.

Under Deductions and Credits, go to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid > Other Income Taxes > 2017 Refund Applied to 2018.

I do not see that path or option in the 2019 version.  I used another system for 2018 and have an overpayment to apply to 2019.  Where can I accomplish this?
