an interesting question! On the 2024 Form 1040, line 24 is the total tax, but in the "Payments section" just below, there can be certain credits like the earned income credit, AOC credit and the additional child tax credit. line 37 shows the amount owed, including any 2210 penalty. So what do you regard as your tax liability? if you're are being asked that for some Form or Schedule, please provide that information because the answer may not be above.
