After I completed my 2022 return, the system advised me what my potential 2023 return would look like. The biggest question to the "projection" for what 2023 return will look like is I have two children (will be fully qualified for the child-tax credit in 2023)...does this projection include the child tax credits as well? It does show the option of manually selecting different life events and one of the life events is "new child/dependent" and when I manually update that category to include my children, the projected 2023 return is identical now to 2022 tax return I just completed. There are no "hints" or anything to clarify what the projected figures in but since when I added them manually under the "new child-dependent" (even though they aren't "new children", and the figures align with this years return, should I feel safe to assume I needed to add that in and what the system originally generated is pre "credits" (child-tax credits)? Feedback to Turbotax- You should make it clear what is (and is not) included in the projection for what 2023 return will look like (does it include any of the tax credits such as child tax credits that were included in the current years tax filing, etc). Thank you all for your help!
