Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Sometimes the Refund Meter is not actually a very accurate indicator!  It can jump up/down because you made entries in a previous section and then moved to another section (especially if you move around in the program).

 

If you're using TurboTax Desktop and just updated, deleting the imported 1099-R entry was a good move.  Have you tried deleting it and re-entering it manually?

 

Be sure to enter Federal Tax and Code in Box 7, and pay attention to the follow-up questions after entering 1099-R fields.

 

Go to Forms and look at the 1099-R Worksheet and Form 1040; the numbers may be accurate there (not like the Refund Meter).

Remember, you can click on Online at the top, and 'Check for Updates' anytime.  Never a bad idea to clear Cache and Cookies either.
