Sizeable amount in "Other Taxes" in final federal tax calculation

[avikalp]

Hi,

I see a figure greater than $7000 listed in "Other Taxes" row of my 1040 form. 

Based on the answer in this post, the only category that applies to me should be NIIT - which should be nowhere this high. Would it be possible to get the breakdown of how this "Other Taxes" value is calculated - I'm using Desktop Premium version.

On 1040 line 23?  You need to look at Schedule 2 to see what it is from.  Are you using Online Premium or the Desktop Premier program?  In Desktop switch to Forms mode and open Schedule 2.

Other taxes is listed on your 1040 line 23.

They are identified on Schedule 2 line 21.

You can view Schedule 2 before you file your taxes.

From the left sidebar

1. Select Tax tools

• You may have to minimize both the Federal and State options by clicking the Down Arrows on the Sidebar.
• You will then clearly see Tax Tools
• Click the arrow to up to see additional options

1. Click Tools
2. A Menu will pop up
3. Select View tax summary
4. On the left panel click Preview my 1040

Continue to scroll down the page

• Schedule 1 will come up first 
• and then Schedule 2
• Other taxes are identified on lines 4 -18

Ah I see the full info mode + forms now (I thought only the quick 1040 summary was visible before filing), thanks very much!
