You may have more than just income tax to consider. Take a look at your actual Form 1040, along with Form 1040 Schedule 2, to determine where the total tax amount was derived.
Form 1040 line 16 will show your income tax. There may be a separate form checked beside that line that will show that the tax was calculated in a manner other than using the tax tables.
If there is an amount shown on Form 1040 line 17, then there are additional taxes being imposed from Form 1040 Schedule 2. This could include Alternative Minimum Tax or others.
If you are using TurboTax desktop, click Forms at the top of your screen to be able to view the tax forms directly.
If you are using TurboTax Online, use the following steps to preview your Form 1040:
- From the left rail menu in TurboTax Online, select Tax Tools (You may have to scroll down on the left rail menu.)
- Select Tax Tools
- On the drop-down select Tools
- On the pop-up menu titled “Tools Center”, select View Tax Summary
- On the left sidebar, select Preview my 1040
