Taxes owed

When you owe taxes, it means that you didn’t pay enough taxes throughout the year on the money that you made.  `

 

For more information, refer to the TurboTax Help articles: Video: Why Do I Owe on My Tax Return?

 

If you will be in the same situation next year, you may want to change the information on your Form W-4 to have more federal taxes taken out of your paycheck.  Contact your payroll department to request a new Form W-4 to complete.  Refer to the TurboTax article Top 5 Reasons to Adjust Your W-4 Withholding for more information.
