I saved my return to a pdf file but there are differences between the pdf version and the program. For instance, the amount of my refund is different. My refund in the program is shown as $1,236 but the pdf shows the refund as $868, a difference of $368. I filed this morning. I trust the filed version includes a refund of $1,236.

this is another long standing TurboTax "issue".

Use the Print Center to get the true PDF of what your return says at the moment.

Although you have different estimated amounts on your tax return on the PDF copy and the program, the final amount is calculated and processed by the IRS.

I'm sorry, but your answer is not correct. I have been using TurboTax for 15 years or more and have never had the pdf copy differ from the amount shown in the program on the filed copy. The refund processing service or refund processing explanations are not right because I did not use them; they do not apply to me this year. If you or anyone else can tell me why this happened I would be happy to hear it.
