Overpayment Application

Application of current year overpayment
These code options are the same as those in the federal Est screen. They dictate how the application applies any current year overpayment. The decision affects what is printed on Page 1 of the return and the calculation of next year’s estimated tax payments. Enter 1 of the over-payment options listed in the following table, or select from the dropdown list.
Code
Result
1
Refund 100 percent of the overpayment. This is the default option.
2
Apply 100 percent of overpayment to next year’s estimate; refund excess. This option 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 1st estimate; refund excess.
4
Apply equally to each estimate; refund excess. This option applies one-fourth of the overpayment to each estimate and refunds any excess overpayment.
5
Apply the amount specified in the
Overpayment to be applied (Code 5 or 8)
field to the estimates until the amount is exhausted or all payments are made, in which case the excess is refunded.
6
Apply to 1st and 2nd estimate of next year; refund excess.
7
Apply 100 percent of overpayment to next year’s estimate; no refund. This option applies the entire overpayment to next year even if estimates aren't required or the overpayment is in excess of the payments required. No refund is made.
8
Apply amount specified in the
Overpayment to be applied (Code 5 or 8)
field to next year’s estimate. This option allows an overpayment to be specified even when estimates are not required or generated
