Question

My refund is calculated at $3205 but the amount in the next line for the amount to be refunded is $3199 and cannot be changed up or down . Must be a program bug.

Possible reasons for the difference between the amount you overpaid (line 20, Form 1040) and the amount being refunded to you (line 21a, Form 1040):

  1. Check line 24 of Form 1040 for a $6 underpayment penalty that is being deducted from the refund.
  2. You indicated somewhere in the program that $6 of your refund should be applied to next year's taxes.
