Overpayment Application
Application of current year overpayment
These codes are the same as those in federal Screen Est. They instruct the application on how to apply any current-year overpayment. The code affects what is printed on Page 1 of the return and the calculation of next year’s estimated tax payments. Enter one of the overpayment codes listed in the following table or select one from the drop-down list.
Code | Result |
|---|---|
1 | Refund 100 percent of the overpayment. This is the 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 all estimate payments are made, in which case the excess is refunded. |
3 | Apply to the first period of next year’s estimates; refund excess. |
4 | Apply equally to all next-year estimates; refund excess. This code applies one-fourth of the overpayment to each estimate and refunds any excess overpayment. |
5 | 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. |
6 | Apply to first and second period of next year’s estimates; refund excess. |
7 | Apply 100 percent of this year’s overpayment to next year’s estimates; provide 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. |
