Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you have used the CD/downloaded version of TurboTax in past years, perhaps there was something carried over from your previous year's return that is affecting that version of your 2021 return.
I don't have any advice about what could be causing the difference other than a possible carryover amount. Moving forward, you need to compare the two returns line by line to see where there is a difference. You can try to do this with the CD/downloaded version of TurboTax. Be sure to save the return you created with the CD/downloaded version with a name to remind you that it was created originally with that software. Then, get a copy of your online tax file and open it with the CD/downloaded TurboTax and compare the two forms.
Use the steps in the following TurboTax help article to download your TurboTax Online tax file:
