Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@britmarie9425   Balance due means you owe $185 to either the IRS or state.  The original question did not ask or mention anything at all about "$1000-$2000"  It is possible to get a federal refund and owe the state, or the other way around--owe the IRS and get a state refund.  Either way--Balance Due or Tax Due means you PAY.
