it's a little hard to follow your question with the screen shot provided, but let me take a shot at it.
Turbo Tax begins presuming you did NOT receive your stimulus, so the meter (and Line 30 of Form 1040) assumes a $1200 additional refund due. Once you fill out the Stimulus section, it will adjust both Line 30 and the Meter. Since you put in your stimulus received to date as $12.00, it will reduce the refund by the same amount.
In other words, when you begin your return and ONLY complete the MyInfo section, the meter will immediately show a $1200 refund - because it knows you were due that much in stimulus and it is waiting for you to enter how much stimulus you actually received, which will reduce that estimated refund.
is that the issue?
