I have entered my federal forms including $276 in estimated California State Taxes for 2024 (correct).  When I go to enter the State forms it indicated $670 paid in CA estimated State Taxes.  I have tried everything I can think of to fix this and nothing has worked.  Help Please!!

    Are you using TurboTax Online? If so, you can preview your return before filing to find out how your taxes were calculated. See here for details.  In TurboTax Desktop, you can switch to Forms mode to find the source of the total.

     

    Did you have withholding from wages or other income? This may be what you are seeing in your California return in addition to your estimated payments that comes to a higher total.
