I made the same amount of income in 2015 as I did in 2016 almost do the dollar, comping my W2s.
No changes to 401k or anything else...
..yet... when I just inputted my W2 into HRblock.com
It's telling me I owe $1300 whereas last year after just entering the W2 and not proceeding with any other inputs to the process, they owed me $2,200.
What the heck changed?
Keep going through the interview. There's a decent chance that from last year to this year, their code & default assumptions have changed, and you won't get the "real" number until closer to the end of the interview.
Last year, for example, I had a big amount owed all throughout the interview until the very end where I answered a question about my health coverage and the ACA, and then the amount owed dropped dramatically.
RESOLVED:
I used the auto import feature to import my W2 PDF.
It did not interpret the W on one of the lines.
So it took my HSA contribution of $3,500 and treated it as income by assigning it some other letter.
Return went from 408 -> 3,900.
I *almost* just filed it, then at the last second double checked everything again because it just didn't make sense.
Anyways if you use HRblock.com to auto import W2 double check their work!!!
