You probably have a deduction for state taxes paid. Once you finish your state return that would change that deduction.

Thank you for your response. The amount due for Federal went up from $35 to $101, could that have happened from a State deduction?

Possibly. If you are itemizing your return and have a state deduction for your taxes, if you lowered your state taxes by taking a state deduction, your itemized expenses would decrease which would increase your taxable income which would increase your tax due.

Are you itemizing?
