On Calif Form 540, I see where to specify the amount of a refund to be applied to 2013 estimated taxes (Line 92).
On Calif Form 540X, how do I specify the amount of a refund to be applied to
2013 estimated taxes?----- Details....
When I filed Calif Form 540, I owed for taxes for 2012, which I paid with Form 540-V. I also paid the Apr 15 installment of estimated taxes for 2013 with Form 540-ES.
Later, I realized I had omitted a significant amount of deductions. So I am filing amended tax returns (Forms 1040X and 540X).
For Calif Form 540X, the net result is a large refund for 2012 and a much smaller total estimated tax for 2013.
So I want to apply part of the Calif refund to 2013 estimated taxes, as I would have done on Form 540, and receive about half of the amended refund.
(I prefer the convenience of applying refunds to next year's estimated taxes if I can avoid installment payments. In my case, it is a relatively small loss of potential investment income.)
