Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Were you looking at the refund amount at the top of the screen?  If so, it sounds like the software was lagging behind on calculating the refund amount.  Something you did in the program then triggered the program to recalculate the refund.  Adding an adjustment to Alternative Minimum Taxable Income that didn't result in any Alternative Minimum Tax would not reduce your tax liability.  But it might trigger a recalculation of the refund meter.
