State tax filing

Thanks, @BillM223 

 

You were correct. The standard deduction was the correct choice. I was trying to understand the difference in my 2020 vs. 2019 taxes. I was showing a large amount due on state with very little difference in income. I knew it was wrong but TurboTax assured me the calculations were correct. (and they were, just with incomplete data) 

 

After getting your response I did a deeper dive into the difference and found the real issue. TT had never recorded my NC state tax that was withheld. That made a BIG difference. I had scanned the W-2 so it never occurred to me to check the state data since federal was correct. 

 

Never forget the basics... 

 

Many thanks.
