I see it as a poor decision by TT to put the stimulus questions at the end of the tax return questions.
The whole time you are doing your taxes and staring at that refund meter, what you don't realize is that it assumes you received no stimulus, so it is overstated. Then your expectations are deflated at the end when you enter the stimulus actually received and the refund meter adjusts to your correct refund.
Alternatively, one of the first questions Taxslayer asks is how much stimulus you received, so their refund meter isn't inflated while you are entering all the other documents.
hopefully TT will change their software for 2021, because we are going to go through the same thing with the 3rd stimulus - and that may be even more inflated because all your dependents get you $1400.
