The code options available in this field are the same as those in federal Screen Est. The codes instruct how to apply any current year overpayment. The decision affects what is printed on the applicable return and the calculation of next year’s estimated tax payments. The overpayment options are listed in the following table or can be selected from the dropdown list.
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 estimates; 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. |
4 | Apply equally to each estimate; refund excess. This option divides the total overpayment by the number of estimates desired, applies this amount to each estimate, and refunds any excess overpayment. |
5 | Apply amount shown in the Overpayment to be applied (Code 5 or 8) field to the estimates until exhausted, refund excess. |
6 | Apply to second estimate of next year; refund excess. |
7 | Apply 100 percent of overpayment to next year’s estimates; no refund. This option applies the entire overpayment to next year even if estimates are not 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. |
