What you may not realize is that as soon as you began to prepare your tax return, the software was giving you the $1400 and it was shown on that "refund monitor" -----but when you entered that you received it already, the software had to reconcile the payment you received, You cannot get it twice---so it looked to you like you "lost" $1400. You did not lose it nor were you taxed on it---you just cannot receive it twice.
You owe for some other reason--like perhaps not having enough tax withheld during the year.
