NYS refund applied to estimated wrong amount shown

Post by dan916 »

Hi, I had a refund from NYS and I applied it to my estimated tax. When checking the NYS website, the amount credited to me for estimated is exactly half of what I am due. Does anyone know why?

Thanks!

NYS applies 1/2 the refund to each person married filing jointly so you only see your half. It tripped me up as well before I researched it.
