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.
