I filed my 2020 taxes using Turbotax online software and am now using Turbotax Desktop for filing 2021 tax returns. So far I am expecting a refund but the California state tax portion asks if I "Need to make electronic payments based on a prior year?"
It says that California requires electronic payment of taxes if you've
1) Made an estimated tax or extension payment over $20,000, OR
2) Filed an original return with a tax liability over $80,000
It further asks "Did you make a payment for any tax year that requires you to make tax payments electronically?"
Could someone please help me understand this question ? I am expecting a refund so why is it asking to pay electronically?
Thanks a lot!
