The "tax due" is displayed at top of page. Before the questin on the stimulus the "tax due" is $1708 less than after the stimulus entry.

 

 


That is probably correct because the stimulus is based on your 2020 tax return.    Before the question is asked, the amount that you qualify for is added to your refund.    TurboTax has no way to know if you already received all or part of the stimulus so it asks.   When you tell it how much was already received then that amount is subtracted from the refund, so the refund amount appears goes down or tax due goes up.    You do  not get it twice.    The tax due and refund meter is meaningless until ALL information is entered.  The last thing you do can change it drastically.

 

That is why the stimulus question is at the end because the amounts are not know until yiu have entered everything else.
