First, take a look at the information on Form 1040 under line 16. Are any of the boxes checked for 8814, 4972, or another form? If so, those forms could be adding an additional tax owed.
If none of the additional boxes are checked, it would help us to explain the situation to you in more details if you were willing to provide a diagnostic copy of your tax file. The diagnostic file will not contain personally identifiable information, only numbers related to your tax forms.
If you would like to provide us with the diagnostic file, follow the instructions below and post the token number along with which version of TurboTax you are using (Windows or Mac or Online; Deluxe, Premium, etc.) and what states you are filing in a follow-up thread.
If you are using a CD/downloaded version of TurboTax, use these steps:
- Select Online at the top of the screen.
- Select Send Tax File to Agent.
- Click OK.
- Post the token number here.
Use these steps if you are using TurboTax Online:
- Sign in to your account and be sure you are in your tax return.
- Select Tax Tools in the menu to the left.
- Select Tools.
- Select Share my file with agent.
- A pop-up message will appear, select OK to send the sanitized diagnostic copy to us.
- Post the token number here.
