Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Unfortunately, if you have entered all numbers correctly, there is no solution to reduce your tax owed. Make sure that you have the Child Tax credit for your child.

 

The main reason for this large tax bill is that your form W-4 was not filled correctly. So you need to submit a corrected form W-4 as soon as possible and perhaps ask to withhold an extra amount each pay check by filling in Step 4 - line (c) to avoid such a bad surprise next year.

 

If you can't pay your tax by April 15, you should still file your return by April 15 and go online to request a short-term or long-term payment plan.
