Since the kicker is a refundable credit, it would stand to reason that your refund would be the sum of the old refund and the kicker.
However, I see in the OR-40 Instructions about 3 1/2 pages dedicated to a detailed discussion of how the kicker is determined and used, starting on page 17.
Since we in the Community cannot see your return nor the screen you are on, it is difficult for us to know what is unique in your situation.
If you see something in the instructions that raises a question, please come back and let us know.
