Hi, so I filed my taxes this year and had some from work which I received back and that I also owed. There's was a difference of 200 ish that I should have gotten back?

I'm wondering why it's only showing what I owe them and not what I'll be getting and I filed and it got accepted the 12th of April. I just wanna know where that money is I'm getting back and if they're using the rest to pay what I owe? If not where's my full return?

Your post is confusing. Are you saying that you owe back Federal taxes, but are due a refund for 2021?

Or are you mixing up Federal and State?  You cannot pay taxes due to one with a refund from the other.

Your state tax due cannot be paid from your federal refund. 

It is not possible to pay your state tax due from your federal refund, nor is it possible to pay a federal tax due from a state refund.  The federal and state treasuries are completely separate from each other.  You may have seen a TurboTax summary of your federal and state amounts that confused you into thinking one was “paying” the other.  It is not. The ONLY thing you can pay for from a federal refund is your TurboTax fees if you chose that option.  

 

 If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment.  For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.
