the program listed the amt. I owe on the start page and cover letter.... didn't realize that last page on the amt. owed is different... now IRS is charging me interest and penalties because I paid what they said to mail in...not amt. listed owed on the last page can't access the guarantee turbotax promises

the 1040-V voucher tells you the amount to mail in.

If TurboTax subtracts your State refund from your Federal owed, to get a net effect, this confuses many.

This error on your part is not covered by any accuracy guarantee.

The federal cover letter should show the tax due for federal. Were you looking at the state cover letter? It also shows 4 quarterly estimated payments 1040ES slips for NEXT year. Those are optional to pay. Did you maybe just pay one of those? There is also a 1040-Voucher for the Tax Due. Did you send in the 1040-V voucher or just one of the 1040-ES slips? If you sent in a payment with a 1040ES slip it was applied to next year and not this year.
