You can get back into your return using the steps here below:

  • Log into your TurboTax account and click My TurboTax at the top
  • You should be on the Tax Timeline now
  • Scroll down to SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO section

  • And then edit sections you need to make changes to

It says on pg 2 of my 1040a line 46 that I have a  $70 refund.

Line 49 says that I want  $49 applied to my 2017 estimated tax (which I don't).

Line 50 says I owe  $50 and line 51 says my estimated tax penalty is $51.

I can't figure out why and if I'm actually getting a $70 refund or owe $50.

Any ideas?? Thank you!

Line 46 should be total payments and then 47 and 48 would show refund if one is owed. But I can take a look at your return to see, if you'd like. Just need you to follow these steps to provide me a token number to look at it.

* While you are inside the return, go to My Account in the top right corner, click Tools there.
* Choose "Share my file with Agent" and click Ok. This will give you a Token Number to share with me.
* This is going to send a protected copy of your return for us to view. No personal info(SSN, address, names or any other personal data) will be shared with us on this copy, just numbers.

Can you share that Token Number with me so we can take a look?

Thank you so much. I don't have the "tools" option perhaps because I'm not paying for that not sure. I'm pretty sure I was just confused by the line numbers lol
