In all the years I have used TurboTax, the owe/refund box at the top always kept a running tally no matter how small the change in income or deductions. Now you are telling us the TurboTax software assumes you didn't get a $1,400 stimulus check - even though practically everyone did - and tacks it on your return at the last second.
On top of that, the government advertised that the stimulus wouldn't have any affect on our taxes. So is there any wonder that TurboTax customers are confused? We would be better off if we said we didn't get a tax credit and declared the $1,400 as income.
