Deductions & credits
what is on Line 30?
was your income BEFORE unemployment above or below $150,000 in 2020?
here is what i think is occurring (and it's poor programming if you ask me)
You begin entering your information and TT assumes that you didn't receive ANY stimulus so your refund meter is inflated by the amount you actually received. Then at the very end of the program in the review section, you enter what you actually received and the refund meter deflates to the correct number.
I would expect that from just before you entered that you received the $264 for the two stimulus payments to just afterwards, the refund meter only changed by that same $264. it would have been a better experience if the very first thing TT asks was the amount of your stimulus payments so the refund meter was deflated from the get go.
so appears you are a family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 children and I suspect your income was very high in 2019 (which is why you only received $264) and in 2020, which is what really matters, was below the income threshold.
