Line 47 is : refund substract line 46 from 45 so line 45=147$ line 46=100$ so line 47=47$ .. line 48 sais that tax due is 0$ my question is should i pay 47 $ ?

[noelfeghaly]

i filled everything and i got my federal tax return but im not sure if i have to pay for state . so im confused because they said on turbotax that subtract line 46 from 45 so 147-100=47 .. so in line 47 i can see 47 $ but in line 48 tax due the amount is 0 ..

Hello ... can you possibly post the state and form number you are looking at ?

[noelfeghaly]

MA . form number is : omb no : 1545-0074

[Critter]

No that is not the form # ... you must be using form 1   http://www.mass.gov/dor/docs/dor/forms/inctax16/f1-nrpy/form-1.pdf

Now look at those lines again and read them carefully ... you can only have a refund or balance due not both so on line 47 it says you have a REFUND of $47 and no balance due (zero)  on line 48  thus you have a refund.

my form is form 1040ez . and second page sais form 1 ma16001011555

[noelfeghaly]

im reading again the lines  
line 45 : 147 $
line 46 : 100
line 47 : 47
line 48 : 0

[Critter]

Ok ... the 1040EZ is the federal return form ...and  the form 1 is the state ... and you have a refund of $47 and no (zero) balance due ... not sure what is confusing about that.   Just file the return to get the refund.

If you completed the FILE tab all the way to the end and transmitted the returns then you have filed.


You should have received 2 emails from  Turbotax for the federal return and another 2 for the state.  The first letting you know the return was submitted, the second letting you know whether it was accepted or rejected.

Check your e-file status here to be sure you actually FILED the return and it was accepted:

Ok ... the feds (IRS) accepted the return but did you file the state return as well ?  

Log back into the program and click on "add a state" then click on the FILE tab and complete it again until you can transmit the state return this time.
