I just finished my taxes and I owe in federal and get a refund from state. However, the amount the refund is not the full amount i am supposed to get. It does reflect the exact amount that I owe missing but also sends me the voucher to mail in the payment. Why aren't they giving me my full refund?

I am supposed to get $1411. refund from the stat and owe 865. to federal yet my refund is only $585.00 after fees. Then it said print the voucher to pay the $865.00. I wouldn't paying the $865. if i was getting my $1400. Why does the screen say 1400 yet i am only getting $565? I agreed to send the $865.00 by April 18th.

I think you are pretty confused and need to look at your actual tax return forms to understand how much you owe and how much your refund (if any) is supposed to be from the state. Your federal tax due is shown on line 37 of your Form 1040. That is how much you need to pay to the IRS by April 18, 2022.

Your state tax due cannot be paid from your federal refund.

It is not possible to pay your state tax due from your federal refund, nor is it possible to pay a federal tax due from a state refund. The federal and state treasuries are completely separate from each other. You may have seen a TurboTax summary of your federal and state amounts that confused you into thinking one was “paying” the other. It is not. The ONLY thing you can pay for from a federal refund is your TurboTax fees if you chose that option. You do not have that option since you are not getting a federal refund. You will need to pay your fees upfront with a credit or debit card.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

There are thirty seven states with a state income tax and we do not know which state you are in. You will need to look very carefully at your own state tax return to see how much your state refund is supposed to be.
