Question

Federal Tax Due in TT is different from what my 1040 shows

The box at the top of TurboTax shows Federal Tax Due. However, this amount is not on my 1040, which shows a different amount owed. I can't figure out why it is different. My 1040 appears to be correct, but I'm afraid to file when the TT total is showing such a big difference. How do I figure out where the discrepancy is?

    It is possible that the number you are seeing in the software is combing both the federal and state returns. Often, the numbers are netted together on the review screen prior to filing. You can review your returns to see if that is the case. If not, you may want to contact TurboTax Support.
