That is normal.     WHY DID MY REFUND GO DOWN WHEN I ADDED ANOTHER W-2? You started off with your first W-2 and your refund looked high?  Then you added another W-2 and it stopped looking so good? That is normal.  When you added more income, your tax liability increased, so you saw your refund decrease.  The program began by giving you your standard deduction—- which lowered your taxable income.  (if you are filing joint it took $31,500 off your income right off the bat)   So you are not being taxed on as much of the income on that first W-2.  Then you added taxable income--so the refund went down. Your refund (or tax due) is based on the total of your income, not “per W-2.”   And…adding income may affect other credits you were getting like the earned income credit. Wait until you have entered ALL of your income and credit/deduction information.  You can't really tell anything until it is all entered.  That “refund monitor” does not mean anything until everything has been entered.       WHY DID MY REFUND DROP WHEN I ADDED ANOTHER W-2?   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refund-drop-entered-second-w-2/L4wmMMBCs_US_en_US?uid=m6csd0x4    

I'm not sure what software you're in, but you mentioned there were "many small coffee dates etc.".   Are you trying to input every coffee date? The IRS does not require you to do this.  You can maintain a record of it and enter it as a total (Always maintain your records in case of audit!)   If this is not the issue, please provide us with additional information. What software version are you in? What section are you entering? What are you trying to do?

Yes, but you need TurboTax Business to prepare your 1065 and then a personal tax prep product (like Premier or Home & Business) to prepare your 1040.    TurboTax does not have a product that does both types of returns.

It was federal tax  Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.   To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account.

In TurboTax Premium Online, I am able to report more than the appropriate amount of Medicare tax withheld on the taxpayer's W-2.   The amount overpaid and withheld is reported in Part V Withholding Reconciliation of IRS form 8959 Additional Medicare Tax.   The amount overpaid and withheld is reported as a payment on IRS form 1040, page 2, line 25c.   This may not be your experience.  Are you seeing something else?
