What did the IRS change?  Do you agree with it?

I don’t agree with it and want to talk to an expert on turbotax but don’t know how. They say I owe $4k

1st you should check your return for data entry errors.    this is the most common reason when you get a large tax bill.

the second most common reason is you got income that wasn't  entered - maybe a 1099 for SE income.   sometimes the contractor sends 1099's to the IRS but not to the recipient
