In the past turbos tax will use paid estimate tax to figure out tax due, why not this this. I have withheld amount more than tax due but I had to pay tax due first.

    If you have paid estimated taxes, they will serve as a credit against your Federal tax liability and have to be entered on your tax return.

     

    You can enter estimated taxes you paid by following these steps:

    • In TurboTax, open your tax return
    • Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then Deductions & Credits on top of the screen
    • Scroll down to All tax breaks, locate the section named Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click Show more
    • Click on Start next to Estimated Tax Payments
    • On the next page, click Start next to Federal estimated taxes for 2020 (form
