You're too dumb to do your own taxes. Get an accountant.

1. How do people this dumb make $158k?
2. You owe less than 2 weeks pay, what's the fucking problem?

Is that supposed to be an insult? everybody here is an immigrant except for a handful of natives we didn't kill.

so go back to turbotax and try filing separately.
if you've already filed you can file an amended return.

It's amurrica, buddy.
If you find a way to save on your taxes you can go back years later and get your money back.

Did you fuck up and pick the standard deduction rather than itemizing? CA state taxes are high enough that you always want to itemize.
Also, you want to end up owing money (but in the safe harbor zone) every year, since the conditions under which the IRS pays interest are very hard to attain.
Take a look at your withholding, the default amounts are never good for anyone.
