Refund = money you get back

Tax Due = money you owe and have to pay to the IRS or state

Look at your Form 1040. Line 35a shows your refund.

You need to check your data entries. You might have added some zeros or misplaced decimal points. The comma and the decimal are next to each other on the keyboard so it is easy to strike the wrong key. Avoid trying to enter commas or decimals into the software whenever possible.

Did you have $25,000 in federal tax withholding? W2 box 2. Maybe you typed the decimal point in the wrong place or left it out or made a typo. Check your W2 box 2. If you haven't filed yet delete the W2 and manually enter it.

Agree----my best bet is that "$25 thousand plus" of withholding! Bet that was supposed to be about $2500 hundred ish instead. Unless you made a LOT of money as shown in Box 1.
