If the department of revenue was not satisfied with the amount I paid through TurboTax, why would they accept my tax return in the first place? Why would they send me this notice months later by mail with no information about why I owe more? They are charging me interest but offer no explanation on why I owe money, and their website is down so I can't even pay it to stop the interest from accumulating.

Why would they send me this notice months later by mail with no information about why I owe more?  The bill should have an explanation. They can charge you interest if you did not pay enough timely.

 

They are charging me interest but offer no explanation on why I owe money, and their website is down so I can't even pay it to stop the interest from accumulating.  Try again tomorrow or Monday... often systems are updated over holiday weekends.

ACCEPTED only means the tax return is in their hands  (filed).

They have to review it and that takes time.

Neither the IRS nor the state notifies TT when they change a taxpayer's return.
