Thank you for the answer. However, it did not answer the question. The fedl agency funds were already reflected in Turbo Tax. As I stated before, I entered the amount through the fedl instructions as soon as I realized I had omitted it. So I didn't need to find it in the Turbo Tax forms. I knew it was already there. My question was, why didn't entering that amount increase my refund.
The answer is that I overpaid my state taxes by having a part of my IRA distributions go to state withholding. That amount, plus the Exemption Credit (540, Line 32) means that I actually get a full refund of the withholding - either with or without the federal agency funds. (I am expert in Excel and have a tax spreadsheet which calculates all this. It is much easier for me to see results on the spreadsheet, and to do "what-ifs". That's how I finally saw the result of including the fedl agency funds or omitting them.) It turns out that the refund can't increase due to the fedl agency funds, because it's already a full refund of my withholding, even without the fedl agency funds. Franchise Tax Board will not refund more than the full amount of withholding.
