Entering 1099 in Expenses i adding money but federal tax due amount is decreased Why?

When you increase your deductions and expenses it will decrease your income and you might not be getting as many credits as you did before. Expenses and deductions reduce your taxable income, which can phase you out of credits that you qualified before so your refund will decrease.
