Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Actually @JohnB5677 it stays like that even as I'm to the point of entering my 1099R....   The counter dropped from my original (greater) refund amount to ~200 upon starting the process and has stayed at that amount.  Entering my amendment knocks of $30, but again, still seeing a refund.  

 

I even deleted the amendment and repeated the whole thing and it happens again.

 

I figured out what's happening - but not why - the second I start an amended return, TT says I have ~900 dollars less income than previously stated.  I didn't entire a darn thing at this point - this just happens immediately and I see it on the proto1040X that TT is generating.
