State tax filing

The estimated penalty is calculated by the program using the information YOU provided and the state calculates the penalty using the info they have on file for you which may not be the same.  When you actually filed and paid the balance due also comes into play.    You may have indicated to skip the estimated penalty calculation in the state interview. 

 

And even if the program did add an estimated penalty the feds/state always have the right to access more penalties and interest.
