MISSING REFUND MONITOR

 

Sorry—-the “running” refund monitor that used to change as you entered data is gone.  You have to get all of your income, etc. entered into the software in order to see the results.

The other place for you to look for your federal refund or federal tax due is on your Form 1040

Federal refund will be on line 35a

Federal tax due (that needs to be paid by April 15) will be on line 37

 

 

PREVIEW 1040

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

This may be anecdotal, but I got my refund/taxes owed monitor to come back simply by going to the left-column menu and clicking on the REVIEW tab (the one just below the State Taxes tab.)   That made it pop back up in the left upper corner.  Since then, it's been working for me.
