Get your taxes done using TurboTax

JamesG1, Thanks for getting back to me!

 

To clarify I am attempting to indicate the REPAYMENT of a Cares Act distribution ( the second 1/3 repayment). Tax liability in my eyes should stay the same. Not go up or down. If i wasn't REPAYING it then yes the taxes should increase. Why would the software make my taxes decrease when I'm only indicating to the IRS that I've continued on my repayment plan to avoid the increase in my income?

 

When I entered the info after the interview as indicated to fill out the 8915-F Turbo Tax increased my refund, or said another way it decreased my tax liability. Why would that be?

 

There is not entry on either line 5a or 5b on the 1040. Why is the software not entering it there? Is this the reason my refund was increased? How is the software not filling out my 1040 correctly?
