Been using TT for 20 years. Removing the running estimate is stupid.
And no, I can't find it in federal review. That redirects straight to state. If there's another workaround, I can't find it and I'm sure other won't either. That is by far the most useful feature to see where things stand before all of your forms are in.

UPDATE:
So this is where things stand. It came up after I entered enough deductions and was finally allowed to go through the federal review questions without a redirect to state. I'm not sure if that was an error or feature but it was a poor experience either way. Taking away information from a user is never a good idea. It's like driving the same care for decades and someone puts a big old sticker in the center of your windshield.
Also, this is not about hiding my income but at a quick glance, I can see that I probably forgot something. It's also an incentive to go find that receipt I was too tired or lazy to enter that one day. lol
I decided to explore some of the other options out there since it's been a long time. Cash App taxes and FreeTaxUSA both got the job done and were accurate but not as intuitive. The former is free and the latter is something like 1/10 the filing cost for federal and state. Personally, I'm going to stick with TurboTax this year because my taxes are done and it's the first place I look for old returns. We'll see how next year goes.
