For the taxable amount of $191,051., Turbotax is showing taxes will be $32,599.

But Per IRS slab for 2023 taxes, the tax amount is $32,652.

32580 + (191051 - 190750) * 0.24 = 32652

Why is this difference of $53 ?

There is more than one tax table used. There are several. Did you have any capital gains or qualified dividends, for example?

Yes I have capital gains or qualified dividends.

I am following this IRS link for calculation. https://www.irs.gov/filing/federal-income-tax-rates-and-brackets

Here I am talking purely about the tax calculation. Taxable amount to Tax amount.

Not the final tax amount.

BUT...you also indicated that you had some Dividends and Capital Gains.....Qualified Dividends and Captial Gains, (that are included in your total "taxable" income number)...thsoe are taxed at a different, usually lower rate. So you just can't use the "simple" calculation all of it.

You need a printout of your entire file including the worksheets...the calculation is probably on the Qual Divs & Cap Gains Tax Worksheet (though could be a different one, that one is most common)
