I can use the short form and didn't need to itemize my taxes. I owe nothing to Fed or State I ordered TurboTax for $49 was on sale. why do I owe $174?

I'm sorry you're not getting a refund this year! The changes in tax reform have affected the refund amount that many Americans are receiving this year. TurboTax works hard to get you your maximum possible refund, which is backed up by our Maximum Refund Guarantee (https://turbotax.intuit.com/corp/guarantees.jsp). 

For next year, you may want to take a look at our Withholding Calculator (https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/calculators/w4/) and consider adjusting your withholding so you can better control whether you'd like a bigger refund or a bigger paycheck.

It shows you are in the Online Premier version.  Did you upgrade?   How to review your fees  https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4202093

Or did you but the Desktop CD/Download program?  You are using the Online version not the Desktop program installed on your computer.  Did you end up in Online by accident?  I can tell you how to move it to the Desktop program for free.
