Should I pay the amount in the balance due section of my federal tax return, or should I pay what TurboTax says is due?

How are they different? Your Form 1040 shows your federal tax due on line 37. TurboTax shows you the tax due and may also be showing you a summary that nets out the difference between federal tax due and a state refund. Do NOT confuse those. Pay the IRS the amount shown on your tax form.

Be sure to add anything listed on line 38 of Form 1040 (Estimated Tax Penalty), since you are paying late.
