I'm not sure why some people say it still works for them. Perhaps they started their taxes early, before the feature was removed, and it is still there for them. For whatever reason it is gone now for most of us and needs to return.
Having it only during the Federal Review is not really helpful. It's not a feature or tool at that point, it's just a summary of what you owe or what you will get as a refund. It's like the most basic part of doing your taxes. I understand some people might be confused about it, but it's easier to educate them how it works then to dumb down the whole process. Next year I will be looking for alternatives unless this feature is back.
