I am self-employed and not "covered by a retirement plan at work." I indicated this accordingly during the IRA step-by-step, which resulted in the calculation of a certain level of Traditional IRA deductibility and refund due to me. After e-filing my return and exiting the file, I re-opened my return to check on the filing status and noticed that the refund due had changed (decreased) versus what I presumably had submitted, which was concerning. I noticed that when I go back through the IRA step-by-step and indicate once again that I am not "covered by a retirement plan at work," the IRA deduction and refund amount recalculates to what I had submitted (or think I had submitted). This is disconcerting that the calculation should change when I close and re-open the file. Is there a way to "lock-in" the selection to ensure that my file reflects the final version that I believe I submitted for filing? Also, is there a way to confirm what was actually submitted for the e-filing?
