Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi Wolf,

 

Thanks for your answer and I understand what you are saying but am still a little confused.  Last year it added the relief to my salary i.e. I made 50,000 and took a 9,000 relief to spread over 3 years and the 3,000 was added to 50,000 and I was taxed on 53,000.  The way you state and what I have found is that it is taxing the relief money separately from my taxable income (salary).  BTW these aren't my numbers I am using generic figures as an example.  So last year my tax didn't come down as it did this year (around 700 dollars which makes since with what you posted).  Is this a mistake with turbotax or this correct.  I am confused as I made less money in 2021 then 2020 and yet this relief has significantly dropped my refund.
