The refund meter at the top of TurboTax fluctuates with every entry on the return and is not accurate until you have completely prepared your return and ready to submit.
It sounds like the system was allowing you to use last years income in computing certain credits which are based on income. However, it appears that you did not have conditions on your return where you qualify for that break.
