I paid my taxes but when I logged in today it said total taxes due was 500? I didn't recieve an email or anything about this. What does this mean? Due to who?

I had recieved a fed refund and paid my state taxes already.

if you owed say the state the $500 and paid it, Turbotax will always show you owe the $500. that's because it never assumes the amount was paid. Even a payment scheduled thru the app can be revoked.

We can't see what you're looking at, but it's possible you are looking at a confusing summary page that TurboTax presents to users, where it sums (nets) the Federal and state returns to arrive at a net figure. For example, if someone is receiving a $300 Federal refund and also owed state taxes due of $900, that summary page nets those 2 figures and says $600 due. If you're looking at that summary page, were your state taxes that you paid about $500 more than your Federal refund you received? If so, TurboTax is just adding (netting) them to let people know how they made out at the end of the day.

That makes sense! Appreciate it. I relooked and yes that's what happened. Although I paid, they had the difference as "due" . I was like, I already paid everything in full, whats this extra 500?! Ha Thanks again!
