your post is a little confusing to me as it may be confusing the estimated tax with the actual tax. In the end all that matters is the actual tax.
1) on your 2024 tax return, what is on line 24? this is your total tax.
2) on your 2024 tax return, what is on line 33. These are the total payments you made to pay the tax listed on Line 24.
3) I will assume you correctly listed the estimated payments on Line 26. I would suggest reviewing this line against your records closely.
4) If Line 33 is more than Line 24, that determines the refund. If Line 33 is less than Line 24, that determines what you owe.
What you paid as 2024 estimated taxes is just a down payment against the tax, but it is important that it was listed correctly on Line 26. If you over reported this Line, then the "bottom line" of the tax return is incorrect and could cause the IRS to come back to you for the difference.
