How can I make sure if my information is correct? I feel that my federal refund amount is incorrect.

Last year I had to pay back.

How can I make sure if my information is correct? I feel that my federal refund amount is incorrect.

You can start by looking at a preview of your current tax return.  If you have your 2021 tax return you can make a line by line comparison.  The line numbers for 2021 are the same as 2022.

 

You can preview your tax return by going to:

 

  1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
    1. My Info
    2. Federal
    3. State
    4. Review
    5. File
  2. Select Tax Tools
  3. On the drop-down select Tools
  4. On the popup menu
  5. Select View Tax Summary
  6. On the left sidebar
  7. Select Preview my 1040.
  8. Schedules 1,2&3 are included if you scroll down past your 1040.
  9. To return to the entry screens press Back on the sidebar.

Some key numbers on your 1040 tax return are:

Line 15 - Taxable Income

Line 24 - Total Tax.

Line 25 - Withholdings.

Line 33 - Payments including Credits.

Line 34 - Overpayments.

Line 37 - Tax owed.
