Tax Year Prior to 2020: Why did I have to pay?

[WKins2]

Are you saying you need to know why you had to pay taxes, or to pay for the TurboTax tax preparation software?

There are several factors that go in to determining the taxes an individual owes. 

Your income could have increased which might have:

• Put you in a higher tax bracket, 

• It could have reduced or eliaminated some deductions or credits

• The tax laws changing year to year will determine the amount of taxes that need to be paid as well. 

If your income decreased that sometimes can reduce your refund due to you not having enough earned income to receive the deductions or credits you did before. 

To see what had changed between last year and this year, please print off your 2018 and 2019 return and compare them. This will help you determine what has changed.

Yes I had an attorney reach out to me saying we shouldn't have to pay for turbo tax and wanted to know why I did and that they have a legal suit out on turbo tax. Therefore I am going to another tax person to make sure mine were done right as irs is saying there are issues with the way they were done
