State of Michigan sent me a notice saying  my 2020 state AGI does not match 2020 federal AGI and thereforeI owe back tax and penalty.  What gives? I did my taxes with Turbo Tax. Can Turbo Tax look at my 2020 fed and state AGI and tell me why they would be different?

    No one else has access to your account  or to your tax returns.  You have to look at them for yourself.

     

      You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

     

    Start a 2023 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

    Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

    Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

    You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return.

    SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !

     

    EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

    NOTE:  TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years.  Returns older than seven years are purged.
