Are you sure it's not the TAXES DUE that are going down?

or are you really adding your dependent's Social Security income  (SSA-1099)?  I ask because you are posting in the Retirement section.

No.  It's not taxes due.  It's asking me to add my dependent.  I add my son.  After I add his SSN, my federal refund due decreases significantly.
