Thank you for your kind response. To my mind, the error is in the Turbo Tax program. Let's say that in the top left hand running totals box, it shows that I owe the IRS $295 (in red). It shows my State refund to be $1,777 (in white). I told the program that I will send the IRS a check for $295. When I went to efile my state taxes I expected the program to show a state efile refund to be $1,777. Instead it shows "Your Total Refund: $1,482 (in green). While in the long run this is technically correct, I will end up with $1,482, I do not think the the program is supposed to be doing this kind of calculation at this stage. It should be showing "Your Total Refund: $1,777" since that is what I am expecting to get back from the State. I did not want to move forward with the efile for the State without getting this clarified. Thank you.
