TurboTax calculated that I owe a tax penalty. I believe this incorrect. How do I get this corrected?

I paid more estimated tax for 2024 than I did for 2023. So, why is there a tax penalty?

You may avoid the Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals Penalty if:

  • Your filed tax return shows you owe less than $1,000 or
  • You paid at least 90% of the tax shown on the return for the taxable year or 100% of the tax shown on the return for the prior year, whichever amount is less. If your adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2023 was more than $150,000 ($75,000 if your filing status for 2024 is married filing separately), substitute 110% for 100%.
