    If you are referring to the amounts at the top in green or gray, be sure to go all the way through your return.  Those amounts will change as you work through each section of your return.  

     

    You can also view a tax summary to see how your refund was calculated.  This summary will show the total income, taxes, payments and withholding.

     

    The tax summary can be viewed from the Tools/Tax Tools Menu.  See this link for additional details:  View my Tax Summary before I file.
