Turbo Tax calculated an underpayment penalty despite a healthy refund. It also asked for us to fix "Form 2210: Line D Withholding. The sum of the four columns is not equal to your total withholding. . . "

The window to the form 2210 only shows 3 possible places to make a correction entry with two columns in the form 2210 sharing one of them. The widow does not allow not allow me to make corrections. It also indicates a very large amount in one of the columns which is a large multiple of the amount we actually had withheld entered during the income part of the tax program.

There are two things about the penalty on the underpayment of estimated taxes:

1. You can avoid it if you pay more than a set amount.

2. Even if you pay more than the set minimum, you must pay it out more or less evenly over the course of the year.

This means that getting a refund does not mean you are guaranteed to avoid an underpayment penalty.

Also, can you share with us a screen shot that you are describing (Please ensure that there is no personally identifiable information on it. Thanks!

Thanks to all who reviewed and made suggestions. In the interest of getting my taxes done, I followed the advice I found on this forum from a couple of years back and simply omitted the offending worksheet (and form). When I then ran the online review, everything was good.

I keep seeing this answer, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to delete Form 2210! I don't see an option to do that anywhere. I accidentally checked D (about amounts withheld or paid) and it was a mistake, and even though I keep going back and marking "no" instead of "yes," it still shows up checked on my final return and won't let me file!!! I'm beyond frustrated. How do you get to a screen where you see an option to delete that form and start over? The only way I can get to it is through the underpayment question, but it just prompts me with questions, I don't see a screen that lists the forms and lets you delete and start over.

Are you trying to see if you can reduce your underpayment penalty by annualizing your income? The original post was about the Tax withholding, which required you to enter how much of the taxes were paid during each time period. It will also tell the total for what the withholdings need to be.

If you need to delete the under payment penalty form 2210, you can go to Forms mode (if using TurboTax download) by clicking Forms at the far right on the blue banner. Find Form 2110 and click Delete Form, just below the form. In the online version of TurboTax, click on Tax Tools on the left side menu, click Tools, then click Delete a Form. In the listing of forms, find Form 2210 and click the trash can icon to the right of it to delete it.

If these answers don't cover the information you were needing, please provide more detailed information on the question you have, and errors or stumbling blocks that you are having, so that we can better assist you.
