Deductions & credits

No, you are paying back the stimulus.

When you start preparing your return, TurboTax assumes that you haven't received  the stimulus payments, so it adds the stimulus payments to your refund.

Once you enter the amount of stimulus that you've actually received, it adjusts your refund (amount due) to account for that.
