Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Are you comparing the tax on line 16?  And the taxable income on line 15?  There may be other taxes or penalties added in.    and there are several different way to figure the tax.  Not just the tax table.  Or you aren't getting the same credits. 

If you have capital gains or qualified dividends the tax is not taken from the tax table but is calculated separately from schedule D.  The tax will be calculated on the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet.  It does not get filed with your return.  In the online version you need to save your return as a pdf file and include all worksheets to see it.

 

For the Desktop version you can switch to Forms Mode and open the worksheet to see it.  Click Forms in the upper right (upper left for Mac) and look through the list and open the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet.
