Bill,
Thank you for the quick reply. Your suggestion did seem to fix the issue, although I think it just worked around some bug. You told me to finish my other numbers. I had finished everything, except my income for my business that was not on a 1099's was just temporary estimate of about $11K. I calculated the final number (about $27K). Prior to doing this I had the issue where that checkbox would add or remove over $9K from my final Federal number. After putting in the proper number, that checkbox has no effect anymore. My refund has settled in the middle of the two extremes, which based on adding $16K in income, is about what I expect.
I didn't even restart the program before it started working.
As a computer tech and sometimes programmer, this leads me to believe that either:
1: My income was at some threshold that caused it to either count the health payments or not, depending on that checkbox. I don't think so, since when it was happening, my AGI was about $31K, and now it's mid 40's.
2: There is some bug, either changing or maybe just revisiting the income sections fixed it.
I've since restarted the program and verified that checking and unchecking that checkbox have no effect. I will leave it checked since it seems like it should be. Thank you very much for your help!
