I may have found the answer after I downloaded my full return along with all attachments - schedules, worksheets, etc. There is a SMART WORKSHEET FOR: State and Local Income Tax Refund Worksheet that enables the "Recomputation of 2017 Federal Income Tax -- Note: Parts V and VI require recomputation of your 2017 federal income tax return. If recomputation is not available, check here and do not complete Parts V and VI." the box is checked. I assume Parts V and VI are the page 2 you are referring to. So, it appears TurboTax did not recompute my 2017 return factoring in the refund and adjusting AMT to see if the refund is taxable in 2018. Does that sound correct? And if so, why did TurboTax check that box?
