How do you correct Turbo from rolling over a wrong estimated tax payment from year to the next?

I entered $1000 too much in my 2020 estimated tax payments. IRS caught this and made the correction but it still shows as being applied in my 2021 tax return.

Turbo Tax doesn't roll over estimated payments. You have to enter them manually each year. And 2020 estimated payments don't go on your 2021 tax return.

Did you have some of your 2020 refund applied to 2021? You can fix it here
