Underpayment Penalty even with refunds. Roth conversion in Dec and est tax paid for that at that time.

Refunds of over $700 for both 2019 Fed and State filings - yet I have a $52 underpayment combined penalty.  Why?

 

My tax obligation for my ongoing Soc Sec and pension income is sufficiently withheld throughout the year.

 

I decided late in 2019 to do a December Roth conversion and paid the full associated taxes on-line at that time.  Without even knowing I'd do the Roth - I had no reason to do quarterly payments.  And I recall being told that with an event such as this I could make the tax obligation at that time.

 

Is this correctly being done in Turbo Tax?  Is there a way to correct?  Or am I supposed to guess of a late year tax obligation ?   Thank You ,  Bob
