The word "refund" refers to money you are getting back.

 

"Tax Due" refers to money you OWE and have to pay.

 

Look at your actual tax return.    Your Form 1040 shows a REFUND you will get back on line 35a.   If you OWE tax due it is on line 37.

 

PREVIEW 1040

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

 

If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment. For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.
