Take a deep breath.

Check that you transferred all the numbers from W-2 to Turbo Tax correctly. Pay special attention to which box you were copying numbers from. For example, my wages are much lower in box 1 than in box 2, because of my pre-tax deductions, so mixing them up makes my taxes skyrocket. Make sure you transferred over every number. Look for places where you reversed digits when copying or entered the same digit twice.

Check the questions about filing status, being claimed as a dependent, and whether you want to take standard deduction. Inadvertently checking the wrong box is easy, especially when cat walks across keyboard.

Seems like it is time to pay a professional $500 to do your taxes. It is likely an EA or CPA will save you way more than $500 by doing your taxes correctly, and also making sure your W4 is correct for 2023.

Echo this

One year hit the wrong letter code on my W2 and changed quite a bit

Had to go to freetax USA and start from scratch to see where I went wrong
