Question

Refund listed as tax due

Hello, I'm using the Deluxe software, and a figure that first appears as "other tax paid" in Deductions, appears as the l taxes due number on the final bill. The exact same figure.

 

In order to justify this figure as the Taxes Due, over $12,000 appears to come out of nowhere as "tax owed" on roughly $26,000 "taxable income."!!

 

This makes no sense. Please look into it.

Since you are using the downloaded program switch to the FORMS mode to review all the forms ... click on the amount in question to see where that figure is coming from.    If you are self employed then did you take into consideration the SE taxes among other things that could be added to the federal taxes owed. 

 

And if you are working on the 2020 return be aware that the program is far from fully operational yet and will not be until late January at the earliest.

Yes, thank you, it is the self-employment tax in Schedule 2! But I am not self-employed and entered no self-employed income!

@GRamirez5 - look in forms view and see if there is a 1099C form filled out - delete it if necessary,,,,,
