Can I enter overpayments from 2017 applied to 2018?

[TomD8 · Accepted solution]

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

To use TurboTax to amend a 2017 return that you did not prepare with TurboTax, you'd have to buy a CD/Download version of TurboTax for 2017, and then exactly re-create your 2017 return using the TurboTax software.  Once you'd done that, you'd be able to amend it.  You can purchase previous year versions of TT here:  <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/">https://turbotax.intuit.com/persona...>

If you're just looking for the 1040X instructions themselves, go here:  <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040x--2017.pdf">https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040x--2017.p...>
