To apply part or all of your Federal refund to next year

Federal Taxes Tab or Personal (H&B version)

Other Tax Situations

Additional Tax Payments

Apply Refund to Next Year - Click the Start or Update button

 

But I wouldn’t do that. With all the IRS problems and the Stimulus payments, etc. it’s common for the IRS to change your return this year. I would get the full refund so you know you got it and then pay the IRS separately directly at
