Tax Help

I filed my taxes with TurboTax and I owe in for the first time ever, so I entered all my info on Tax Slayer and it also said I owed in but a different amount and it also said I would have gotten a bigger state refund. Why am I getting different results?

No one in a public user community will know the data in your returns so will have no way of knowing which one is "correct" (if either.)  It can even be a simple typo of numbers such as 2 digits transposed, an extra 0, a misplaced decimal or comma in a figure, etc.   Or perhaps an interview question may have been answered differently in one of the products. 

 

The best way to tell what is going on is to print out both tax returns and compare them line by line.   When you see a discrepancy, then you know where to drill down in each product to investigate and hopefully figure out why there is a difference for that entry.
