Why do I owe so much on state income tax form?

I suggest that you start by checking the posting of your state information.

 

The state information is typically at the end of your document.

  • W-2 Boxes 15-20
  • 1099-R Boxes 14-19
  • 1099-INT Boxes 15-17
  • All other forms are posted in a similar manner.

Confirm that each income source is clearly posted.

You can also see a summary of your state return

 

You can preview your tax return by going to:

 

  1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
  2. Select Tax Tools
  3. On the drop-down select Tools
    1. Tip: If you don't see the dropdown for Tools,
    2. Minimize the federal and state options using the down arrow.
  4. On the popup menu
  5. Select View Tax Summary
  6. You can select a state and view the summary.
