Overpayment Application

Application of current year overpayment
The codes available in this field are the same as those in federal Screen Est. They instruct the application on how to apply any current year overpayment. This affects what is printed on the Cincinnati Business Tax Return, and on Form D-1 estimate vouchers. The overpayment codes are in the drop-down list and in the table that follows:
Code
Result
1
Refund 100 percent of the overpayment (default).
2
Apply 100 percent of the overpayment to next year’s estimate; refund excess. This code applies the overpayment to each estimate in full until the overpayment is exhausted or until 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 all next-year estimates; refund excess. This code divides the total overpayment by the number of vouchers desired for next year.
5
Apply the portion of the overpayment shown in the
Overpayment to be applied (Code 5 or 8)
field to the estimates until the amount is exhausted or until all payments are made, in which case the excess is refunded.
6
Apply to next year’s first and second estimates; refund excess.
7
Apply 100 percent of overpayment to next year estimates; no refund.
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.

Estimates

Form D-1 - declaration for next year
These codes are the same as those in federal Screen Est. They tell the application which method to use to determine the amount of next year’s estimated tax. If a
2
through
7
is entered in the
Application of current year overpayment
field, the application defaults to option
1
in the
Form D-1 - declaration for next year
field. If both of these fields are blank, the application does not generate estimate vouchers or estimate filing instructions. The estimate options are listed in the following table or can be selected from the drop-down list.
Code
Result

Use current year liability (default). This is the default if a code
2
,
3
,
4
,
5
,
6
, or
7
is entered in the
Application of current year overpayment
field.
Note:
If the current year’s tax is less than the minimum filing requirements, the vouchers do not print.
2
Use the current-year tax liability plus the adjustment in the
Amount
to adjust current year liability (Code 2)
field. If you select this option, also enter an adjustment to the current-year tax liability in the
Amount
to adjust current year liability (Code 2)
field. If the adjustment represents a decrease, enter a negative amount.
3
Use the current-year tax liability even if the total liability is below the minimum amount required to make estimated payments.
4
Print estimates with amount fields blank.
5
Use the amounts entered in the
Amounts to use for next year’s estimates (Code 5 or 9)
fields, before overpayment. If you select this option, the amounts entered in the
Amounts to use for next year’s estimates (Code 5 or 9)
fields are adjusted by any overpayment applied.
9
Use the amounts entered in the
Amounts to use for next year’s estimates (Code 5 or 9)
fields. If you select this option, the amounts entered in the
Amounts to use for next year’s estimates (Code 5 or 9)
fields are not adjusted by any overpayment applied.
note
New and converted clients may benefit from Ohio’s new client options. Choose Setup > 1120 Corporation > Ohio Cities tab, click the New Client Options button, and enter the code in the
Next year’s estimate declaration
field. The selection in this field transfers to the state input screen for newly created and converted clients and is used to calculate next year’s estimates. The transferred code may be changed in this field if necessary and is not overwritten by the selection in the New Client Options dialog.
Amounts to use for next year’s estimates (Code 5 or 9): 1st - 4th payment
Use these fields to specify the estimate amounts for each quarter. These amounts will not be adjusted by the amounts entered in the
Next year estimates already paid
fields.
If code
5
is entered in the
Form D-1 - declaration for next year
field, enter the desired quarterly payments in these fields. These amounts are adjusted by the overpayment applied.
If code
9
is entered in the
Form D-1 - declaration for next year
field, enter the desired quarterly payments in these fields. These amounts will not be adjusted by the overpayment applied.
Next year estimates already paid
Use these fields to specify the estimate amounts for each quarter or to enter any estimate payments already made toward the next year.
If code
1
,
2
, or
3
is entered in the
Form D-1 - declaration for next year
field, these amounts and the overpayment applied are subtracted from the calculated quarterly gross estimated tax liability to determine the net estimate amounts.
If code
5
or
9
is entered in the
Form D-1 - declaration for next year
field, these amounts do not adjust the amounts entered in the
Amounts to use for next year’s estimates (Code 5 or 9)
fields.
Number of estimates desired, if other than four
The number of estimated vouchers defaults to 4. Enter a code in this field to specify fewer than four vouchers. The options for the number of vouchers are listed in the drop-down list and in the following table. The overpayment and amounts already paid toward next year’s estimates apply to each voucher based on the overpayment code and the quarter in which the amounts were paid.

Four vouchers are generated. This is the default option.
3
The last three vouchers are generated. Any unpaid balance from the first estimate is included in the second estimate voucher.

Amount to round up each estimate
This field allows you to enter rounding specifications for the estimated payments. The estimated payments can be rounded up to the nearest factor indicated. For example, to round up each estimated payment to the nearest $10, enter
10
in this field. If this field is left blank, the application rounds up each estimated payment to the next dollar.
note
New clients and converted clients may benefit from the Ohio Cities new client options. Choose Setup > 1120 Corporation > Ohio Cities tab. Click the New Client Options button and enter the amount in the
Round estimates by
field. The amount entered in this field transfers to the state input screen for newly created and converted clients and is used to round up the estimated payments to the nearest factor.
