Overpayment Application
Application of current year overpayment
The code options available in this box instruct UltraTax CS how to apply any current year overpayment for Form 1040ME and the calculation of next year’s estimated tax payments.
To enter the application of current year overpayment one time for all new clients, select Setup, then 1065 Partnership. In the Maine tab, select New Client Options. The overpayment options are listed in the fieldview and in the following table.
Code | Result |
|---|---|
1 | Refund 100 percent of the overpayment. This is the default option. |
2 | Apply 100 percent of the overpayment to next year’s estimate; refund excess. This applies the overpayment to each estimate in full until the overpayment is exhausted or all estimated payments are made in which case the excess is refunded. |
3 | Apply to next year’s first estimate; refund excess. |
4 | Apply equally to each estimate; refund excess. This divides the overpayment by the number of current year payments desired. |
5 | Apply the portion of the overpayment shown in Amount for code #5 or #8 to the estimates until the amount is exhausted or all payments are made, in which case the excess is refunded. |
6 | Apply to first and second quarters of next year’s estimates; refund excess. |
7 | Apply 100 percent of this year’s overpayment to next year’s estimates; no refund. |
8 | Apply amount specified below. |

If the current-year’s tax is less than the minimum filing requirements, the vouchers don't print. |
2 | Use the current-year liability plus the adjustment in Amount for code #2 . If you select this, also enter an adjustment to the current liability in Amount for code #2 . If the adjustment represents a decrease, enter a negative amount. |
3 | Use the current-year liability, even if it's less than $1,000. This lets estimates calculate even when the tax liability is less than the minimum amount required for estimate payments. |
