Can this be accurate, tax last year $64, this year $5991??? no radical change from last year

Tax laws changed (many people lost a hefty amount of deductions) as well as withholdings were lowered....seems like an awfully large swing, but its possible.

Same here.  The rich got the break. We lower income people got whacked. 360 last year 3230 this year with little change as I am long retired.

Before you submit your return, I would recommend reviewing all of the entries you have made (W-2, 1099-MISC, etc) for data entry errors, such as commas instead of decimal points or extra digits added. 

Edited to add: Also, if you have access to your 2017 return, you could compare it to your numbers from this year return. The lines are slightly different due to tax reform changes, but it might help you narrow down if there are any specific areas that are much higher or lower in contrast to last year's values.
