yeah it's insane. This past tax cycle, we filed and overpaid by like 3K, using Turbo Tax. Of course Turbo Tax didn't tell us this, and we wouldn't have known except we got a check for the overpayment from the govt about a week or two later!

I'm curious what mistake happened that you overpaid so much and the government caught it? I always assumed that the IRS relies on the tax return unless it explicitly audits you, but I think my assumption is now out of date.

  I just an unexpected refund as well. No explanation. For all I know I overpaid by much more even.

  Over the years there have been a few times where I got an additional (small) return due to overpayment. As far as I know, I've never been audited (and I think I'd know if I were).

How? Was it Form-1099K mis-ingestion from turbotax? Or is it some other hole?

  Our taxes are complicated. We employed a nanny this past year which somehow made our tax due jump up by over 3K. I assume this was a mistake in TurboTax?

    I would assume so too, maybe try multiple options, after all you don't pay until the the submit button.
