After you file

@xmasbaby0 I'm way behind on my 2019 return and working through it now.  I'm in the State Return and I am to the question about "Prior Year Federal Tax."  We paid tons of taxes in 2019 for years 2017 and 2018, so when I follow the directions given; adding all of the payments (not interest or fees) and then divide the amount between my spouse and I based on our income ratio, it spikes the state (Iowa) refund hugely.   I'm nervous I haven't done this correctly and if I submit it, that it will come back to haunt me.   Is this really a thing?   2019 was just a very atypical year for us, so I am fearful this anomaly will send up a red flag?   It just seems too good to be true.
