A tax due is what you have to pay to the IRS.  It is not a refund.  Have you entered everything?   The program isn’t ready yet.  There are lots of updates to come.   A tax due means you didn’t have enough tax withholding taken out of your pay or out of other income like a IRA distribution.  Did you have other income in addition to W2 income?

There still have to be a lot of updates to the software for 2024, so the results you are getting are likely to be incomplete or inaccurate at this time.    Employers will not issue W-2's until sometime in January; you need to wait for any 1099's which you will get in January or early to mid February.    But in answer to the immediate issue---"tax due" means money that you owe and will need to pay to the IRS.    If you are getting money back, it is called a refund.   "Refund" and "tax due"  have opposite meanings.
