line by line comparison, in what regards.... I did the comparison.... all looks the same from the inputs
You posted that there was a big difference. See where the difference between the two occurred.
the difference is at the bottom line....
HR block State Refund = 136
TurboTax State Refund = 1313
We can’t see your returns so no one here can explain the discrepancy. Obviously there has to be a difference on the returns before you they get to the refund amount.
what details you need to explain?
I did not file yet, since I dont wanna file something which is wrong.
The different must be somewhere in the tax withholding/prepayment by the employer.
So I assume you got a W-2? If so check what you reported for tax withheld in box 17 for each return.
I checked this ... yes got a W2.
Now i was able to reconcile HR blocks and Turbo Tax.
Box 17 is the tax prepayment from my employer.... the reason why Turbo Tax gave me a higher refund was because I also reported "additional" tax payments and entered the value of box 17 again in there. I removed this now from turbo tax and now both are matching at 148 Refund from State. (unfortunately it decreased).
does that make sense to you?
