My income for 2018 was $78,000 and turbotax calculated $775 in taxes. In 2019 income was $82,000 and turbotax calculated $11,000 in taxes. In 2020 income was $86,000 and turbotax calculated a refund of $177.

I think turbotax made a mistake for 2019. How do I get someone to review it and redo it?

The reason I didn't question this 2 years ago was I was suffering from severe depression for a number of years and my MD had put me on new meds a year before. And I didn't realize that I was having strange side effects from the drugs. I went away to my home country for a year since then, stopped my meds until things cleared up and returned recently. I'm a lot more with it now and have realized the strange discrepancy in the tax paid in 2019.

Still not enough ... is the 2019 tax on one line only ? Or is it a combination of multiple lines ? Was this a year when you did not claim dependents ? Were there credits (or lack of them) involved ? Actually the 2019 year is the only one making sense right now.

I highly suggest you talk to someone in person locally as figuring this out on a forum is not the most effective method.

Don't know if TT support will be any help but you can try them ... contact details can be found here

Print the returns and review them side by side ... where are the differences ? Did you make a data input error ? When you figure out what was incorrect you can amend it ...

That's what I cannot understand. The tax liability calculated by turbotax is out of whack with 2018 and 2020 returns

Look at your Taxable Income, Total Taxes and Total Tax payments on the 2018, 2019 and 2020 tax returns. Where do you see a large difference on the 2019 tax return?
