I've never even heard of that! Thank you

I used TurboTax all the way up until it wanted me to pay for the service, which i didn't want to with the numbers being so different. Thanks to u/glacialerratical I found a line by line review on each platform and it turned out this was a TurboTax issue and not a CT wants too much from me issue (for once)

Maybe. Thank you for helping me think through what's going on here! I certainly won't be filing either until I figure what's going on here

Yes federal tax is the same, and tax owed to my new state is the same. But TT thinks CT tax is twice (exactly) what FT thinks. The TT estimate would be 10% of my CT income

I found it! The total tax on TurboTax is 5535. The total on freetaxusa is 2767. Big discrepancy. I've always used TT and always owed a lot so I didn't expect to run into something like this

Freetaxusa offers a line by line summary where I can see the breakdown. TurboTax doesn't offer that unless I pay $59. Feels a little sketchy
