This yr, I am filing as head of household since last yr, my spouse and I separated. When I am going through the filing process, it says I underpaid in taxes and there is a fee.

It asked me about my 2023 filing status, tax liability (form 2210), 2023 AGI. Why? I updated my filing status when the separation was finalized via W2. Why would it ask me about 2023 when my filing status was different?

Your late payment of tax is based in part on your tax liability from the previous year. If you pay in 100% of the amount of your tax liability from the previous year on a timely basis in the current year, you will not be penalized for a late payment of tax. TurboTax needs to know the information you mentioned to make that determination.
