@buzondemario Let's just say that you (having a spreadsheet on the side) are among the more prepared folks I know! Good for you. The Refund Meter is one of the highlights of the program for many taxpayers, though I will agree with you that it can be frustrating. To see a refund at one point in the program fall to federal taxes owed nearer the end of the interview can be exasperating. It's just the way the program works. The final numbers are what counts, of course. I'm sincerely sorry that it frustrates you. Best of luck finishing your filing!
