the Refund-O-Meter should be hidden
I agree. Especially when folks enter deductible expenses that for various and valid reasons makes their refund go "DOWN". I see this most often when folks are entering rental expenses, and then get confused when they see the refund amount go down.
Basically, I tell folks that number is absolutely useless and meaningless until they have completed their return in it's entirety and they're ready to file.
