If you are using a CD/download version of TurboTax, you can view your tax form and worksheets in FORMS mode. This may show you were the large amount of federal withholding is coming from.

Also, review any W-2 entries or any other income form entered where federal tax was withheld for a typo of some sort -- maybe a decimal was missed in entry, causing the large amount.

Below are steps for how to switch to FORMS mode in the CD/Download versions of TurboTax:

Regarding my question about a withholding amount that made no sens: I have discovered an entry error that explains it. Sorry to bother you folks.
