State tax filing
It depends.
On your Virginia taxes, make sure you are looking at the amount of income taxes withheld from W-2 forms, instead of the overall tax amount or payments as you may have had other forms, credits or estimated tax payments included in that amount.
I recommend reviewing your input against all of your source documents. Ensure the values match the source documents for your income and deduction items.
Also, there are many factors that go into determining your overall tax refund, such as other sources of income or credits you could be entitled to.
It essentially depends upon your overall tax return from 2019 to 2020. Any changes from year to year will impact your overall refund or tax liability when you file.
In TurboTax, you can view your tax summary for your 2020 tax return by doing the following:
- Go into the black panel on the left and select Tax Tools.
- Then select Tools beneath Tax Tools.
- A "Tools Center" box will pop up, select "View Tax Summary"
- You will see a screen that gives a snapshot of your taxes based upon your input so far.
- Click on the black panel on the left bar and select Preview my Virginia taxes
- This will allow you to review your overall line items on your state tax return. Compare these amounts to your actual tax return for 2019 to help you determine why there is such a large difference from year to year.
After you review the above items, simply select "Back" in the black panel to get back to the interview forms.
If you prefer, TurboTax does have the "Live" option where you can get support from an Expert. Please see the following link for more information on this service.
