Turbo tax is showing two different Tax Liability totals. One is in a sentence and the other is directly below in a table ($500 less). Which one is right?

My tax breakdown showing taxable income, tax liability, taxes paid and refund totals checks out for 2021. But side-by-side in the same table the 2022 numbers do not agree. The 2022 total taxes paid minus tax liability does not equal the refund. The refund is $500 less than it should be. However, on the same page in a sentence above this table the tax liability is shown to be a different number ($500 more) than what is shown in the table below. Why am I seeing two different Tax Liability totals?

I'm not sure what you are referring to as a table.  I suggest you look at your actual tax returns.  The 2021 and 2022 tax forms match line for line.

 

Here is how to see your 2022 tax return and a small list of significant line numbers is listed below.

 

  1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
    1. My Info
    2. Federal
    3. State
    4. Review
    5. File
  2. Select Tax Tools
  3. On the drop-down select Tools
  4. On the popup menu
  5. Select View Tax Summary
  6. On the left sidebar
  7. Select Preview my 1040.
  8. To return to the entry screens press Back on the sidebar.

Line 15 - Taxable Income

Line 24 - Total Tax.

Line 25 - Withholdings.

Line 33 - Payments including Credits.

Line 34 - Overpayments.

Line 37 - Tax owed.

 

If you could take a screen shoot of the "table" you're referring to it would be helpful.

Yes we need the actual line numbers from the 1040.  The refund is on line 35a.  See if you have any amount on lines 36 or 38.
