Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Owing state taxes at the end of the year is the result of not having enough state taxes withheld from your W2 pay during the tax year.  Typically, that shows up as your pay increases but withholding has not been updated.  You will need to contact your employer to complete/file a new withholding form for your state to withhold at a higher rate.
